RSS intervention quells BJP ‘rebellion’ in Palakkad

The Hindu  

The buzz about a Bharatiya Janata Party rebellion in Palakkad municipality faded on Monday following an intervention by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha leader Prasanth Sivan took over as BJP president of Palakkad East, putting an end to speculation about a mass resignation by party councillors led by municipal chairperson Prameela Sasidharan. Boycott function However, several BJP councillors, including Ms. Sasidharan, vice chairperson E. Krishnadas, standing committee chairpersons Smithesh and Sabu, senior leader V. Sivarajan, and K. Lakshmanan boycotted Mr. Sivan’s inauguration. Reason for dissent The dissidents oppose Mr. Sivan citing the fact that he was nominated by Mr. Krishnakumar by sidestepping a few others who had secured more votes to district president’s post. However, BJP State president K. Surendran said that Mr. Sivan’s elevation as party’s district president proved that there was no dissent or groupism within the party.
