Hello
The BJP state chief clarified that his intention was not to defend Sriram, but the latter's right to be able to work after being reinstated into service.
BJP Kerala has also claimed there was no political motive behind Usha's nomination by the Narendra Modi government.
Opposition leader, VD Satheesan and BJP president, K Surendran have urged the legislator from Chengannur to give up his seat in the Assembly.
The charge was that Surendran bribed Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) candidate K Sundara to withdraw from the fray for the 2021 election in Majeswaram.
He made the remark on Saturday while campaigning for BJP's candidate in Thrikkakara, AN Radhakrishnan.
Several right-wing groups had unsuccessfully called attention to this misleading photo on various social media platforms to lament what they deemed was yet another sign of Kerala's deteriorating socio-cultural fabric.
The excise duty cut will translate into a reduction of Rs 9.48 a litre on petrol in Kochi and Rs 7.42 per litre on diesel after taking into account its impact on other levies.
K Surendran has urged the Kerala government to reduce fuel tax further by Rs 10.
The saffron party will send its state general secretary C Krishnakumar and district president K M Haridas to the meeting scheduled on Monday.
The Congress, which had once ruled the entire country, is now ruined, BJP State Chief Surendran said, adding that PM Modi's popularity is growing day by day.
