Suresh Gopi on ‘mouna vritha’ in Thrissur too; visiting constituency after a month

THRISSUR: Union Minister Suresh Gopi reached Thrissur amidst the controversy over voting irregularities. The minister, who reached Thiruvananthapuram Wednesday morning, reached the constituency on Vande Bharat. Without saying a word to media's questions, he left under heavy police security. He went straight to Aswini Hospital to meet his party workers undergoing treatment. BJP activists sustained injuries in the march staged to the CPM office last night.

Suresh Gopi is visiting Thrissur after a month. BJP workers welcomed him by shouting slogans like Thrissurinte Priya Puthra, Suresh Gopi Nayikkatte, Jai Jai BJP, Jai Jai Bharat Mata, Dheera Dheera Nethave Dheerathayodu Nayicholu, Laksham Laksham Pinnale.

Suresh Gopi did not utter a word to the media about the controversy even at the Thiruvananthapuram railway station either. Meantime, Thrissur ACP will investigate the case of Suresh Gopi including votes in Thrissur just before the Lok Sabha elections. The action is on the complaint filed by KPCC political affairs committee member T N Prathapan to the Thrissur City Police Commissioner.

The complaint is that Suresh Gopi, a permanent resident of Thiruvananthapuram, illegally included votes in Thrissur by giving false declarations and affidavits. Suresh Gopi cast his vote at booth number 115 in the Thrissur assembly constituency.
