THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: It has been hinted that Sabarimala tantri-family is dissatisfied with BJP state president Sreedharan Pillai's remarks that tantri had called Pillai before annoucing that the temple will be closed if women enter Sabarimala. Tantri family state that Pillai's remarks are unnecessary and sources close to RSS say that they have informed this dissatisfaction to the Sangh Parivar leadership.
Thantri Kandararu Rajeevararu has said that he had not sought any advice of anyone regarding the closing of Sabarimala temple in case young women entered the temple. “I have not contacted BJP State president P S Sreedharan Pillai over the phone. I had got a letter from Pandalam Palace in this regard. Other than that, I had not taken any advice from anyone. All news that we hear today in this regard is baseless,” he had clarified on Monday.
BJP central leadership also have expressed their opposition to Sreedharan Pillai's remarks.
