Unrest brewing over K Surendran's appointment as Kerala BJP president

The appointment of Sabarimala poster boy K Surendran as the president of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP’s) Kerala unit has brought out its differences with the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS). Surendran, one of the four general secretaries in the state, belongs to the faction led by Union minister V Muraleedharan, a known Modi-Amit Shah acolyte. The other faction, led by P K Krishna Das, a former state president, has the blessings of the RSS. Just a day after the announcement, general secretaries A N Radhakrishnan and M T Ra­mesh re­quested the central leadership to relieve them.
