Thiruvananthapuram: BJP workers organized a grand reception for Padmaja Venugopal in the capital city upon her arrival in Kerala after joining the party. She was greeted by State President K Surendran and Union Minister V Muraleedharan. State leaders S Suresh, P Sudheer, VT Rema, Shone George, and Karamana Jayan were also present to welcome her.
Kerala Prabhari Prakash Javadekar received Padmaja at a function held at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi yesterday. She mentioned that her resignation from the Congress was due to continuous neglect from the party. With the Lok Sabha elections approaching, Padmaja’s entry into the BJP poses a setback for the Congress.
Padmaja previously held positions such as KPCC General Secretary, Political Affairs Committee Member, and Mahila Congress State Leader. She had also contested from Thrissur on behalf of the Congress in the Assembly elections in the year 2016 and 2021.
