Just days after being sentenced to life imprisonment in an abduction and murder case, owner of the popular Saravana Bhavan hotel, Rajagopal passed away in hospital

Owner of Saravana Bhavan P Rajagopal has been rightfully sentenced for his role in a murder, but it was due to the efforts of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa that the case met its logical end.

Soon after he surrendered, 'Saravana Bhavan' founder Rajagopal was taken to a government medical college hospital and was admitted to the "convict ward" as per the doctors' advice. He is serving life sentence in a murder case

Rajagopal was awarded life sentence for killing his employee Sanahkumar, who had apparently married a girl whom Rajagopal wanted to take as his third wife in 2001

After Telangana MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy of the Congress hinted at joining the BJP, the Congress is now considering taking action against him. However, the party plans to take legal opinion in view of the argument that anti-defection law may not apply if he is suspended.

This is for the first time a Kerala BJP leader (Muraleedharan) is being sworn in along with the prime minister. Earlier, Rajagopal and Alphons Kannanthanam had joined the Vajpayee and Modi ministries respectively after a long wait
 

Not sure of Fourth Front being effective, says Lagadapati Rajagopal, former Congress MP from Andhra Pradesh.

After Saravana Bhavan owner P Rajagopal was granted bail for a murder he had committed in 2001, the Supreme Court has now upheld his lifetime imprisonment. Rajagopal has time till July 7 to surrender.

Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Governor P Sathasivam, ministers G Sudhakaran, Mercykutty Amma, P Raju, MLA Mukesh, MPs Suresh Gopi, NK Premachandran, V Muraleedharan and O Rajagopal MLA attended the inauguration.

 

Rajagopal clarified that, while these demonstrations were distinct from the one held at the shrine against the attempted violation of Lord Ayyappa's tradition in Sabarimala, this protest for better amenities would add to the BJP's pressure on the LDF government in Kerala
