Election Challenge: Suresh Gopi's Victory in Question

The Kerala High Court has issued a notice to Union Minister Suresh Gopi regarding a plea challenging his election victory in Thrissur. Allegations of corrupt practices during his campaign have been raised by petitioner Binoy A S from the All India Youth Federation.

The Kerala High Court has called upon Union Minister Suresh Gopi to respond to allegations questioning his election from the Thrissur Lok Sabha seat. The plea, put forth by Thrissur native Binoy A S, challenges the legality of Gopi's win citing corrupt practices.

Justice Kauser Edappagath has mandated Gopi, serving as the Union Minister of State for Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Tourism, to address these allegations by November 22. Binoy A S, a leader with the All India Youth Federation, claims misuse of religious symbols during Gopi's campaign.

Suresh Gopi, also renowned as an actor, achieved a significant political milestone for the BJP by winning the seat with a remarkable margin of 74,686 votes, ending a political dry spell in Kerala for the party.
