BJP may take action against Sobha over 'Operation Lotus'
The Morning Standard|May 01, 2024
THE EP Jayarajan row and the subsequent political developments could well turn out to be counterproductive for BJP and its state vice president Sobha Surendran. Embarrassed by her revelations that attempts were made to woo seven senior leaders from different parties including LDF convener E P Jayarajan to the BJP camp, the party national leadership is mulling action against her.
BJP may take action against Sobha over 'Operation Lotus'

Even as CPM appears keen to play down the EP episode, its ripples in the BJP camp refuses to die down. There are indications the national leadership is likely to take disciplinary action against Sobha, in the light of her revelations regarding the party's Operation Lotus in Kerala. Highly placed sources told this daily that the party's Kerala prabhari, Prakash Javadekar, will soon submit a detailed report to national president JP Nadda.

While BJP will hold a statelevel meeting on May 7 in the presence of Javadekar, the national leadership is likely to take up the matter once the poll results are announced, said a senior BJP office-bearer.
