Lakshadweep [India], March 21 (ANI): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has shut down its party's office unit on the Androth Island of Lakshadweep.
Senior BJP leaders, during their recent visit to Kavaratti, informed that the party's office in Androth has been closed since March 1 this year, following oral instructions from the party's state unit president, KN Kasmikoya.
The reason cited for the closure, however, remains unclear.
The decision has left party workers concerned as they await further directives from the party's leadership.
Androth, a key political hub in Lakshadweep, plays a crucial role in determining the region's political future.
In January, BJP leader KN Kasmikoya was re-elected as the president of the party's Lakshadweep unit, securing a second term.
The election process, closely monitored by a central team led by former Union Minister Pon Radhakrishnan and BJP leader G Kashinath, unfolded with no contest.
Kasmikoya's candidacy was proposed by state general secretary Siraj Koya and supported by HK Mohammed Qasim, culminating in an unopposed victory that underscores the party's unity and Kasmikoya's tight grip on the position.
Kasmikoya is a seasoned leader with extensive experience as a Sub-Divisional Officer (Executive Magistrate) and district panchayat member. He joined the BJP after leaving Congress. His re-election might be fruitful for the BJP due to his expertise in administration and his understanding of local issues.
