PALAKKAD: He might have lost to Congress’ Shafi Parambil by a margin of nearly 4,000 votes, but Metroman E Sreedharan — BJP candidate in Palakkad constituency in the recent assembly polls — has gone ahead and kept his word to the voters anyway.
During his election campaigning, the 88-year-old had promised residents of Maduraveeran colony in Palakkad Municipality that “whether he wins or not, all families will get power connections”. He made the promise after a group of residents approached him with the complaint that some Scheduled Caste (SC) families in Ward 3 of the municipality did not have power connections, while it was discontinued for some others because they had pending arrears to be paid.
