The upcoming local body elections in Kerala from December 9 to 11 will see a total of 72,005 candidates vying for positions. This significant number of contenders is set to make these elections a crucial test for political parties and their strategies in the state.
One of the notable figures among the candidates is Sreelekha, a former DGP (fire and rescue) who has been appointed as a state vice-president of the BJP. Her entry into politics indicates a potential strategic move by the party in Thiruvananthapuram.
