Former Kerala Chief Secretary Claims BJP Offered Him Position

The ex‑Chief Secretary of Kerala, who served in the state’s top administrative post until recently, alleged that officials from the Bharatiya Janata Party approached him with a formal offer to join the party. The claim was made in an interview with a national news outlet on Tuesday. BJP representatives have denied any such offer, stating that the party has not approached the former civil servant. The allegation comes at a time when Kerala’s political landscape is witnessing increased activity from national parties. Analysts say the claim could influence the political calculations of both parties, especially ahead of the upcoming state elections.
