There are reports that former BJP state president and current governor of Mizoram Kummamam Rajasekaran would return to state politics.
Rajasekharan himself clarified stating, “I have no intimation regarding any decision to send me back to Kerala. I can only obey the directions of the president.”
Rajasekharan also said that if he had worked according to his wishes, he would not have gone to Mizoram as the governor. Earlier in a meeting, a senior leader had claimed that Rajasekharan was given ‘punishment transfer’ as the governor of Mizoram during the end of his term. The same leader had also said that attempts to grasp power with money and influence would not be tolerated in state BJP.
The BJP had already asked the state leadership to turn the current Sabarimala issue into its favour. There are also instructions from the central leadership to lure dissident Left and Right leaders to the BJP.
