BJP to launch protests in Keralam to counter Congress protests demanding resignation of Gyanesh Kumar

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced plans to organize protests in Kerala to counter the Congress-led Opposition's demands for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The decision was made during a core committee meeting of the BJP on Thursday. BJP State vice-president M.T. Ramesh accused the Congress of attempting to weaken the country's democratic institutions by targeting the Election Commission and other constitutional bodies.

He demanded Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan's resignation, arguing that the BJP would campaign for his removal and that of the entire government. Ramesh claimed the BJP aimed to expose the true facts behind the protests and accused the Congress of being backed by external forces. The BJP is preparing a roadmap for the next three years, focusing on building upon recent electoral successes in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2029.

Additionally, the party will protest against the UDF government for failing to fulfill its promises since taking office four months ago.
