Surendran summoned to Delhi and his position is shaky, say sources
Bharathiya Janata Party (BJP) State president K. Surendran’s presence in New Delhi on Wednesday triggered intense speculation about an impending leadership change in the party’s “embattled” State unit.
Some in the BJP have postulated that the national leadership had summoned Mr. Surendran and his position was precarious.
Notably, Mr. Surendran’s trip to the national capital comes against the backdrop of a rapidly expanding and politically touchy police investigation into the suspected role of BJP leaders in the alleged movement and subsequent highway heist of “unaccounted election funds” at Kodkara in Thrissur on April 3, barely three days before the Assembly elections on April 6.
