Palakkad, Kerala: A major controversy has erupted within the Kerala unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after a woman, who is a relative of prominent party leader C. Krishnakumar, filed a formal complaint with serious allegations against him. The complaint, which contains grave accusations, was reportedly sent via email to the office of BJP State President Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
C. Krishnakumar is a senior BJP leader from Palakkad, a district where the party has been trying to make significant inroads. He had contested the Lok Sabha elections from Palakkad in 2024 and was widely considered a key figure in the party’s state leadership.
According to sources, the complainant, who is said to be a close relative of Krishnakumar, has leveled a series of serious allegations against him. The nature of these allegations has not been made public, but sources indicate they are of a personal and sensitive nature. The fact that the complaint was forwarded directly to the state president’s office suggests the gravity of the accusations and the complainant’s intent to bring the matter to the highest level of party leadership in the state.
The BJP has so far remained silent on the issue, with neither C. Krishnakumar nor the party’s state leadership making any official statement. The receipt of the email at Rajeev Chandrasekhar’s office has been confirmed by a source, but the party has not disclosed the course of action it intends to take. The lack of a public statement has fueled speculation and led to the issue becoming a major topic of discussion within political circles in Kerala.
This development has come as a setback for the BJP in Kerala, which has been trying to project an image of discipline and integrity ahead of key electoral battles.
The allegations against a senior leader threaten to undermine the party’s efforts and could lead to internal friction. Observers are now waiting to see how the BJP leadership, under Rajeev Chandrasekhar, will handle the sensitive issue.
