Thiruvananthapuram: Close on the heels of Rajeev Chandrasekhar taking over as BJP Kerala president, a poster campaign alleging that former Thiruvananthapuram district president of the party V V Rajesh worked against the victory of Chandrasekhar has appeared.
The posters that appeared near the party state committee office in Thiruvananthapuram both in Malayalam and English alleges that Rajesh, who was the district president during the Lok Sabha election, took money from Congress and worked against Chandrasekhar who was the BJP candidate. It demands his removal from the party.
The posters that appeared in the banner of 'BJP reaction forum' also demands a detailed probe into the illegal wealth amassed by Rajesh and also urges the Enforcement Directorate to confiscate his properties.
The poster campaign has again brought to light the infight going on in the party. The decision of the party national leadership to bring in Chandrasekhar as state president instead of elevating any state leaders was also learnt to be due to the infighting among the state leaders.
Sources said that even as Rajesh faced corruption and illegal wealth amassment charges earlier also the present poster campaign could be part of efforts of his rival camps to foil Rajesh's attempts to get prominent positions in the party.
