Our reaction on Amit Shah Speech in Kannur Kerala | Oneindia Malayalam

The Supreme Court verdict allowing women of all ages to enter the Sabarimala temple has triggered a battle of sorts between the Left and the Right in Kerala. Over the last few days, there have been protest rallies, public meetings, and statements from political leaders lashing out at the opposing side. Amidst all this though, there has been a lot of speculation about the BJP’s stand on the SC verdict. There have been murmurs that while the BJP central committee is non-committal about the verdict, the Kerala state committee of the party is against the verdict, mainly because they want to oppose the LDF government’s stand.

But the speculation came to an end on Saturday, when BJP president Amit Shah came to Kannur and confirmed in his speech that the party will always stand by devotees, and said that they will bring down the LDF government if they “don’t stop oppression of Ayyappa devotees.” And following this statement, the party has publicly been claiming that this has always been the national BJP’s stand.
