A political row has erupted in Kerala after the marriage of 16-year-old Monalisa Bhosle, with the BJP accusing CPI-M leaders of complicity and demanding criminal action.

Kerala BJP chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar has demanded the resignation of Devaswom Minister V N Vasavan over alleged irregularities in Sabarimala gold plating. He warned that if Vasavan doesn’t quit, the party will seek a CBI or ED probe into the issue

BJP state president K Surendran said they would go to the Lord Ayyappa temple without online booking and would stage protests if anybody blocks them.
