KOCHI: There are reports that the government has started moves to cajole Tripti Desai and send her back to her state. The government is learnt to have persuaded her to return to her state in the light of protest demonstrations going on in front of Nedumbassery airport terminal.
Devaswom board president Padmakumar earlier said that Trupti Desai is an activist and the government should make its stand clear on Desai and her team. He said it would be better for her to go back.

Devaswom Board Minister Kadakampally Surendran made similar comments. He even went to the extent of saying that Trupti would return if Congress-BJP leaders demanded.

Trupti Desai and her team of young women who landed in Nedumbassery airport at 4:30 am today (Friday) are stranded there as protesters including BJP-Hindu Aikyavedi activists, swelling in numbers, have been squatting in front of the terminal since.

No body including the police were ready to arrange transportation for Tripti. Drivers of pre-paid/online taxis said they were not willing to take the risk of getting attacked while taking her out in their vehicles.

KIAL MD said that the protest had affected the passengers and flight services in the airport. The MD even asked the police to take her away from the airport.

Meanwhile, when Revenue officials approached Trupti for reconciliation talks, she said she would not leave Kerala without visiting Sabarimala temple. If the police were not ready to provide her protection she would go to Sabarimala using her own means.
