Kerala BJP Demands CM Satheesan's Resignation Over Election Legitimacy Dispute
The BJP in Kerala has demanded Chief Minister V D Satheesan's resignation, accusing him of questioning the legitimacy of the state's Assembly election following protests against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. BJP leaders, including Rajeev Chandrasekhar and M.T. Ramesh, plan to challenge the election's credibility and the Congress-led government's legitimacy in the Assembly. Congress leaders defend the electoral process and dismiss BJP's claims as politically motivated, while Satheesan supports protests against alleged electoral irregularities and calls for the Chief Election Commissioner's resignation.
