Surendran seeks Centre’s help to corner LDF govt

T’puram: Even as Kodakara case is haunting the BJP in Kerala, its state president K Surendran is urging the Centre to intervene in Muttil tree felling case to counterattack the state government.
Surendran, who left for Delhi on Tuesday night, sought an audience with Prakash Javadekar, Union minister for environment and forest, to apprise him of the magnitude of tree felling and the possibility of putting the LDF government on the defensive.
He also plans to spend a few days in Delhi, meet a few more ministers and seek their cooperation in putting up a political resistance against the LDF government.
BJP state unit is of the opinion that tree felling case gives an ample opportunity to Centre to put pressure on LDF government.
It is Surendran’s first visit to Delhi after the drubbing in assembly election.
“The state president is supposed to file a report on party’s poll performance.
Owing to Covid-related emergencies and travel restrictions, the statutory visit was delayed.
The primary objective of his visit must be to brief the central leadership about the reasons for the electoral rout,” said a national leader.
Sources said Central leadership is distraught over BJP’s performance in assembly elections.
The slew of allegations that followed, connecting leaders, has aggravated the already-brewing discontent against the state leadership.
“Since allegations are a direct attack against BJP, central leadership wants to play it safe.
It’s averse to a sudden rejig in the party state unit.
Rather, the focus would be to earn credibility for the party in state.
Central leadership has high regard for party cadres in Kerala.
But they are unhappy that warring leaders aren’t competent enough to make political inroads by fighting LDF and UDF,” sources said.
Meanwhile, a BJP delegation met governor Arif Mohammed Khan to apprise him of the alleged plot against BJP.
“The government is charging false cases against BJP leaders to divert public attention from Muttil tree felling case.
Police are trying to defame BJP leaders by unnecessarily summoning them in Kodakara heist case.
BJP has publicly clarified the truth in Kodakara case,” said Kummanam Rajasekharan after meeting the governor.
