Who will rule Thiruvananthapuram city? VV Rajesh and R Sreelekha in consideration for mayor post

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The people of the capital have decided to consider the BJP's development promise. NDA will rule the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation. The question is who will be the mayor of the BJP, which made a historic breakthrough by winning 50 out of 100 seats in the elections. Although VV Rajesh is being touted as the mayor, former DGP R Sreelekha also has a chance.

It is believed that the experience of being the first IPS woman officer in Kerala will be a boost for R Sreelekha. Thiruvananthapuram is one of the cities that the BJP central leadership is eyeing. Sreelekha has a good chance, considering a high profile and the fact that she is a woman. However, her lack of experience in the public sector will be a disadvantage. The BJP is trying to hand over the corporation they have been waiting for to those with experience in administration.

VV Rajesh has the upper hand, considering his long experience in public service and his image as the face of the BJP in the corporation. Considering that he is younger than Sreelekha, the first BJP mayor post in Kerala may end up in the hands of VV Rajesh. It was Rajesh who led the protests against the corporation administration for the last five years.
