Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala: An RSS worker died by suicide in Kerala after reportedly being denied a seat in the local body elections.

The deceased has been identified as Anand K Thampi, a resident of the Thrikkannapuram ward.

According to reports, the BJP had already announced its candidate for the Thrikkannapuram ward in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation. However, Anand’s name was not included in the final list of candidates.

A WhatsApp message, allegedly sent by Anand to his friends before his death, has now emerged. In the note, he levels serious accusations against BJP leaders.

Anand alleged that certain BJP leaders were responsible for denying him the party ticket. He also claims in the message that some BJP and RSS leaders have links with the sand mafia.
