- KS SREEJITH @T'Puram

MAKING his intentions clear on charting a new course for the state BJP which has been crippled by a host of issues ranging from groupism to alleged hawala transactions, new state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar has told the core committee members that he would have zero tolerance towards corruption and tainted personalities.

Moreover, in a marked change from the party's conventional approach, Chandrasekhar made it clear that the defectors from other political parties who joined the BJP would be given priority during candidate selection.
