A core committee meeting of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Kerala unit here on Monday decided to remove Sandeep Warrier as party spokesperson.
Briefing mediapersons after the meeting, BJP State president K. Surendran sought to sidestep repeated queries about the surprise move. “It is strictly an internal matter of the organisation and I do not want to share it with the media,” he said.
Party sources said Mr. Warrier, who was in Kottayam to attend the meeting, returned by Monday afternoon upon learning about the move. They attributed the decision to a long-simmering factional strife within the State unit of the BJP.
