R. Sreelekha, a BJP councillor representing a ward in Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, has withdrawn her resignation bid after initially informing the Mayor of her intent to step down. According to reports, Ms. Sreelekha had communicated her decision to resign citing personal reasons through a letter to the Mayor, and subsequently mentioned this development in her ward's WhatsApp group.
However, BJP leaders clarified on Sunday that Ms. Sreelekha will continue in her current position as a councillor. The party did not provide detailed explanations for the reversal, though sources indicated that Ms. Sreelekha is currently admitted to a hospital.
The sudden turnaround comes barely days after the councillor's resignation letter was circulated, raising questions about the circumstances surrounding the change in her decision. The BJP has not issued an official statement regarding the reasons behind the reversal or Ms. Sreelekha's current health status.
This development marks another moment of political movement in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, where municipal politics has witnessed several shifts in recent months involving various party affiliations.
