The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has extended a warm invitation to Thrissur Mayor M.K. Varghese, indicating their eagerness to welcome him into the party and ensure he receives appropriate recognition for his contributions.
This significant offer comes swiftly after Mayor Varghese publicly declared his decision not to contest the upcoming elections or actively campaign for the Left Democratic Front (LDF). He further expressed his willingness to collaborate with any political entity that aligns with his developmental aspirations for the region.
Justin Jacob, the BJP Thrissur city district president, affirmed the party’s open-door policy for Mayor Varghese, commending his appreciation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s development-oriented agenda. Jacob stated, ‘For five years, the LDF significantly curtailed the Mayor’s initiatives. Should he choose to join the BJP, we are committed to consulting with our party leadership to guarantee him the respect and consideration he rightfully merits.’ He emphasized that the BJP is the ideal platform for Mayor Varghese to truly achieve his development goals for Thrissur.
