Padmaja Venugopal, the daughter of late Congress veteran and former Kerala Chief Minister K Karunakaran, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi on Thursday. The former Congress leader's decision to join the BJP came just ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024.

Kerala BJP chief K Surendran posted on X: "Today, Kerala's most respected Congress' Kerala leader and former Chief Minister, Shri K. Karunakaran's daughter, and Congress MP K Muraleedharan's sister, Congress leader Smt. Padmaja Venugopal, joined Kerala BJP at an event organized at the BJP Headquarters in New Delhi in the presence of BJP Kerala prabhari Shri Prakash Javdekar ji. Warm welcome Smt. Padmaja to the world's largest political party".

Earlier in the day, Venugopal's brother and Congress MP K Muraleedharan said that her decision was a betrayal and would not benefit the BJP even an ounce. He said that Karunakaran had never compromised with communalism and for a member of his family to join the BJP was a sad outcome as far as people with a secular mindset were concerned.

Amidst discussions on the reshuffling of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee, veteran leader and former KPCC chief, VM Sudheeran resigned from the political affairs committee of the party's state unit, party sources said in Thiruvananthapuram
The displeasure over the reshuffle procedures and the working style of the present leadership under new KPCC chief K Sudhakaran were said to be the reasons behind his sudden decision, they said. Sudheeran handed over the resignation letter to the state leadership on Friday, sources added.

Though contacted, the leader was unavailable for comment. Known for his non-corrupt and idealist image, Sudheeran's firm stand on various issues had led to differences between him and many of his party colleagues in the past.

Reacting to the reports of Sudheeran's resignation, senior Congress leader and MLA, P T Thomas said the KPCC Chief would intervene into the issue and clear any misunderstanding of the veteran. He also said Sudhakaran had visited Sudheeran at his home recently and held a detailed discussion.

"Sudheeran is one of the most respected leaders of the Congress party in Kerala," he said. Thomas, also the working president of the KPCC, said major discussion or consultation with regard to the reshuffle of the state unit leadership was yet to be started. Recently, KPCC former general secretary K P Anil Kumar and its secretary P S Prashanth had resigned from the primary membership of the grand old party over the selection of new DCC presidents.
