A dispute has arisen in Kerala's capital over an MLA's office space. Congress councilor K.S. Sabarinathan criticized CPM MLA V.K. Prasanth for operating his office within a municipality building in Sasthamangalam ward, questioning the rent and suggesting Prasanth use the MLA hostel, which is reportedly allotted to him. Sabarinathan highlighted that many MLAs use rented spaces, but Prasanth has access to free facilities at the MLA hostel within his constituency.
