Police probe into party’s campaign financing, poor show in elections will figure in core committee meet
The core committee of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Kerala is meeting in Kochi on Sunday amid a slew of controversies related to election campaign financing. A State police investigation into the alleged movement and subsequent theft of the party’s ‘election funds’ at Kodakara in Thrissur threatened to drag the names of BJP State president K. Surendran and its star campaigner, actor Suresh Gopi, into its vortex. Tribal leader C.K. Janu’s detractors in her party, the JRP, have accused Mr. Surendran of paying ₹10 lakh to woo her to the NDA. A contestant told journalists that he had received ₹2 lakh and a mobile phone to withdraw his ‘dummy’ candidature against the leader in Manjeswaram.
