Thiruvananthapuram | The BJP on Saturday held a protest march demanding the resignation of Thiruvananthapuram Mayor Arya Rajendran, alleging that roads in the state capital were waterlogged and damaged and epidemics on the rise following the rains due to the inefficiency of the city corporation.

The protestors, including women, marched to the office of the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation holding party flags and a banner demanding Rajendran's resignation.

The police stopped the protestors from getting closer to the corporation office by putting up barricades.

The police also used water cannons to try and disperse the protestors.

The party leaders leading the protest gave speeches in front of the barricades alleging that the corporation was not functioning properly.
