BJP president Nitin Nabin on Saturday said the party would fight for justice in the Sabarimala issue, referring to the alleged loss of gold from the hill shrine, and accused both the ruling and opposition fronts in Kerala of politicising the matter. Speaking to reporters after offering prayers at the Sri Adi Shankara Janmabhoomi temple and visiting the Sri Sringeri Math in Kalady, Nabin said the BJP stood firmly with the people of Kerala and remained committed to the state’s development.

BJP Alleges Political Collusion

“We offered prayers for the safety of the people of Kerala and for the state to move towards development. We are fully with the people of Kerala,” he said. Nabin alleged that both the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) were indulging in a “noora kushti” (fake fight) over the Sabarimala gold loss case, enabling the accused to secure bail. “We will fight fully on the Sabarimala issue and ensure justice,” he said.
