Thiruvananthapuram Corporation’s BJP councillor R. Sreelekha does a U-turn after resignation bid
Ms. Sreelekha reportedly mentioned in her ward’s WhatsApp group that she had informed the Mayor through a letter about resigning as a councillor for personal reasons. On Sunday, BJP leaders say she will continue in her position and that she is in hospital
R. Sreelekha, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) councillor for the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, announced her intention to resign from her position as Sasthamangalam ward councillor on September 30. However, within a day, she appeared to have changed her mind after receiving support from BJP leaders, including State general secretary S. Suresh and Mayor V.V.
Rajesh. Suresh posted a photograph of him visiting Sreelekha in a hospital, clarifying that her expressed concerns were merely about her ability to effectively serve as a public representative. The BJP party, which holds a slim majority in the Corporation, welcomed her decision to stay, emphasizing their commitment to governing the city for years beyond the current term.
