THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: BJP is taking a cautious approach on the Suresh Gopi issue even though he is causing headaches for the party by overstepping its bounds. The state president instructed the party leaders not to give too much importance to the issue by reacting unnecessarily. That is the position of the central leadership as well.

The action of Suresh Gopi, who supported CPM MLA Mukesh while BJP was making a political move against the government on the issue of the Hema committee report against malpractices in the film industry, has caused discomfort in the party. However, the central advice to the party leadership is to accept that he is basically a professional film star even though he is a party MP. His celebrity status, acceptance and status as an elected MP will benefit the party in Kerala state. The party has decided to take steps to maintain it. Whatever stand Suresh Gopi takes on such issues will not affect the party's stand. Party members will not take it as a party position. Suresh Gopi only took a stand of general support for his colleague in the film industry. BJP does not intend to give more importance to it. State president K Surendran has clarified that he has stated the party's position.

At the same time, there is an opinion within the party that Suresh Gopi's actions such as insulting and rejecting the media should be controlled. It is not easy to control Suresh Gopi for that. Instead, the party is planning to reduce the circumstances of such reactions from Suresh Gopi. It is known that the national leadership is unhappy with Suresh Gopi's announcement that he will act in a film on the 6th of next month despite not having the party's permission.
