Thiruvananthapuram: The Centre has granted ‘Y’ category security to four Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders from Kerala in response to the State party unit’s request.
BJP State president Kummanam Rajasekharan, former State president P.K. Krishnadas, general secretaries M.T. Ramesh and K. Surendran have been granted ‘Y’ category security by the Home Ministry a fortnight ago, according to a report published in The Hindu.
The state unit of the BJP had requested the Central government to provide VIP security to its leaders citing a spate of attacks on its cadres after the CPI (M)-led government came to power.
