Earlier in the day, it was reported that Surendran expressed his willingness to step down, following the party's defeat in the recent Palakkad byelection. However, Surendran's faction claims that the national leadership has instructed him not to resign.
K. Surendran, who has led the BJP in Kerala since 2020, is facing mounting pressure after a series of electoral defeats. Despite his leadership, the BJP has struggled to gain substantial ground in the state, and the recent bypoll results have fueled demands for a change in leadership.
