BJP Demands Kerala CM Satheesan's Resignation Over Election Legitimacy Dispute
The BJP in Kerala has demanded Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan's resignation, arguing that his participation in protests against the Election Commission undermines the legitimacy of the electoral process that brought his government to power. BJP leaders, including Rajeev Chandrasekhar, plan to question the Assembly's legality in the upcoming session, citing concerns over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Congress leaders defend the electoral process and dismiss BJP's claims as politically motivated, emphasizing ongoing legal challenges and procedural transparency.
