Thiruvananthapuram | BJP state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Friday said the party will question the legitimacy of the Congress-led government in Keralam in the upcoming Assembly session, following Congress leaders' remarks questioning the validity of elections over the SIR exercise.
The Congress-led Opposition is staging protests demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging malpractice in the revision of electoral rolls.
Chandrasekhar in a post on 'X', said the party would raise the issue in the Assembly, which is scheduled to meet from October 12.
"Our Legislative Party Leader Gopakumar is going to write a letter to the Speaker," he said.
"What is the legitimacy of this Assembly? Is this an illegal Assembly or a legal one," Chandrasekhar asked.
BJP has three MLAs in the 140-member state assembly following the election held in April this year after the SIR in Keralam.
"The first thing to be discussed in the Assembly, which affects me, V Muraleedharan, Gopakumar (BJP legislator) and 137 MLAs, is whether all of us are illegal," he said.
Chandrasekhar demanded that Chief Minister V D Satheesan clarify the issue on the floor of the House.
"If it is illegal, he should resign," the BJP leader said
