PALAKKAD: While the bypoll days are coming closer, internal dissent appears to be troubling the BJP in the Palakkad constituency. In the latest development, BJP state leader and former spokesperson Sandeep Varier walked out and has remained unreachable for campaign activities.
As per sources, his dissatisfaction stemmed from not being allotted a seat on the stage with senior leaders during the NDA candidate convention held on Monday, which was inaugurated by Metroman E Sreedharan.
“Many senior leaders were present on stage that day, while Sandeep had to sit among the audience,” said a BJP leader from Vadakkanthara. He clarified that the seating arrangement was due to the large number of senior leaders and should not be misinterpreted as dissent.
