Kerala’s General Education Minister V. Sivankutty has termed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president Rajeev Chandrasekhar’s threat to prevent Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, Deputy Chief Minister, Udhayanidhi Stalin and Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan from attending the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government’s ‘Global Ayyappa Sangamam’ at Pampa in Sabarimala on September 10 as “childish bluster unbecoming of a person in public life.”

Speaking to reporters in Palakkad on Monday (August 25, 2025), Mr. Sivankutty said Mr. Chandrasekhar “has no clue about Kerala.”
