Speaking to media persons in Alappuzha, Shobha Surendran revealed that EP Jayarajan held discussions with her and other party leaders on joining the BJP.
Uttar Pradesh policewoman Shrestha Thakur, who had stood up to a group of BJP workers last week, was transferred to Bahraich district on Saturday. She was transferred along with a few other deputy superintendents.
The altercation between BJP workers and Thakur happened when one of its local leaders, Pramod Kumar, was slapped with a fine of Rs. 200 for not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle. A video of the face-off went viral on the social media.
Stationed at Syana circle in Bulandshahar district, Thakur had sent five BJP workers to jail for ‘obstruction of duty’. According to a report by Hindustan Times, Thakur’s transfer followed a meeting of 11 party MLAs and MPs with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over the issue.

The report also states that BJP city president Mukesh Bhardwaj has accepted that the officer was transferred to “keep the pride of party workers intact”.
In the video that went viral on social media, Thakur could be heard invoking CM Yogi Adityanath’s name, asking the protesters to get a written order from him stating that the BJP workers were exempted from police checking.
