THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: RSS has evaluated that Sreedharan Pillai is a failure in handling the Sabarimala protests. RSS seeks to hand over the charge of protests to former BJP state chief Kummanam Rajasekharan. BJP is not denying the probability of bringing Kummanam back to the state by posting him as NDA chairman or any other central leadership post. RSS has put huge pressure on the central leadership regarding this.

RSS has presented Kummanam’s involvement in Aranmula protests and several other issues at Sabarimala before BJP national president Amit Shah. RSS stand is that Kummanam’s involvement is vital for the party regarding Sabarimala issue. Sources close to BJP and RSS say that a final decision regarding this will be taken within one month. Kummanam is expected to arrive Kerala after the declaration of Mizoram election results.

Kummanam had expressed his interests to continue in Kerala politics while he was appointed as the governor of Mizoram. Resentment had originated among the party workers after Kummanam was removed from the party chief position. Kummanam is likely to contest in a seat in upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
