The Kerala unit of BJP has removed one of its official spokespersons, Sandeep G Varier, from the post, K Surendran, the party's state President announced today. The decision to remove Mr Varier was taken in a meeting of the leadership, Mr Surendran said.
The action came after allegations against Mr Varier were raised by various party members.
Earlier, reports said that senior party leaders from Palakkad, Malappuram and Kozhikode districts had raised serious allegations against Mr Varier that he had collected money from the public in the name of the party.
However, Mr Surendran, who met the media in Kottayam, said that the reason behind the decision cannot be made public.
