A sudden plunge into politics and not contesting from his home town, how will that affect cricketer and now BJP's Thiruvananthapuram candidate Sreesanth's prospect? Seemingly unfazed, the cricketer says he is confident that Malayalis who loved his cricket would vote for him

In an interview to The News Minute, Sreesanth also spoke about the transition to politics and controversies in social media. When asked about UDF and LDF leaders asserting that a 'communal' party like BJP can never win in Kerala, Sreesanth said that with both the fronts not doing enough for the people of Kerala, BJP will emerge an alternative.
