FollowUnion Minister of State for IT and Rajya Sabha MP from Karnataka, and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate for the Thiruvananthapuram constituency in the Lok Sabha polls Rajeev Chandrasekhar, was warmly welcomed in Thiruvananthapuram on Monday (Mar 04) evening.

He was given a warm reception at the airport by BJP state president K Surendran, senior leader Kummanam Rajasekharan and other party members at the airport and a road show was conducted from the airport to Rakthasakshi Mandapam in Palayam. He urged the people to vote for the BJP for India's development.

Earlier Surendran dismissed concerns about Chandrasekhar being an unfamiliar face to Malayalis, emphasizing that Chandrasekhar is of Malayali origin.
"He is a Malayali only and proud son of Kerala. As union minister, he is well known to all Malayalis. If Congress leader Rahul Gandhi can contest from Kerala, why not Chandrasekhar,' said Surendran.
