Kerala BJP signals generational shift with boost for women, Christian and SC/ST representation in leadership

The Hindu  

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s Kerala unit has signalled a generational change in leadership with a higher representation of women, youth, Christians, Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes and backward-class communities in top organisational posts from the booth level and upwards. At a press conference in Thrissur on Monday, BJP State president K. Surendran said the party’s nominees for district and booth committee presidents trended towards a younger demographic. Mr. Surendran averred that the State president’s selection was “the national leadership’s prerogative.” ‘Change inevitable’ “The CPI and the Congress have a moribund and geriatric leadership that refuses to budge from power. Palakkad ‘mutiny’ Mr. Surendran said expelled BJP leader Sandeep Varier’s “efforts to help” the Congress capture the Palakkad municipality by “stoking factionalism in the party’s district unit would not yield fruit.” Mr. Surendran also indicated that the BJP had laid the groundwork for the impending local body polls campaign by creating 11-member committees in 18,000 of the State’s 24,000 electoral booths. The BJP has divided Kerala’s electoral maps into 30 “district zones.” Its nominees for the district zone president posts included 34 women, 14 leaders from the Christian community, 34 leaders of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes, and members of the Nair and Ezhava communities.
