THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: BJP State President Rajeev Chandrasekhar expressed grief over the demise of Anil Kumar, BJP Thiruvananthapuram City District General Secretary and Thirumala Ward Councillor.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar wrote on Facebook that he was personally very close to Anil, with whom he worked closely during the Lok Sabha elections. Rajeev said he even talked with Anil just two days before.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar:

“Saddened by the passing of Thirumala Anil, BJP General Secretary of the Thiruvananthapuram City District and Councillor of the Thirumala Ward.

Anil had worked closely with me during the Lok Sabha elections, and I shared a strong personal bond with him, having met him only the day before yesterday. I join the family members, friends, and party karyakartas in their grief at his demise.”

Anil Kumar was found dead at the Thirumala councillor's office at 8:30 am this morning. The Valiyasala Farm Society, where Anil is the president, has provided loans of more than Rs 6 crore. There were reports of financial irregularities here. With this, the investors demanded the money back. A case was also registered at Thampanoor police station. Anil Kumar was also summoned to the station in connection with this case.

“No one else in the society helped me come out of the financial problem. Neither I nor my family took any money from this. Now all the blame is on me. I see no point in living further.” : excerpts from the suicide note.

However, BJP leader VV Rajesh said that there was no irregularity in connection with the farm society so far. However, he added that there were some problems after a few people who took loans failed to repay the money.
