K Surendran  

 Ahead of the opening of the Sabarimala Temple, Kerala devaswom board minister K Surendran had on November 15 said the state government will not provide protection to women devotees visiting the temple. Those who need protection should get an order from the Supreme Court. However, women’s rights activist Trupti Desai has stated that she will visit the shrine after November 20, whether or not she is given protection. 

NDA candidate K Surendran said that LDF and UDF is scared of his success, and thus blocked his routes to many places during his campaign

 

Surendran had initiated various protests against the September 2018 Supreme Court verdict allowing women of all age groups into Sabarimala. The clashes with the police even led to his arrest.

Finally BJP announced its fourth list, which included Pathanamthitta candidate. K Surendran will be contesting form Pathanamthitta, where Ayyappa shrine is located.

BJP state chief PS Sreedharan Pillai, state general secretary K Surendran and Union Minister Alphons Kannanthanam are all urging to contest from Pathanamthitta, say party sources. 

 
 

Surendran is currently out on bail and the Kerala high court has given strict orders stopping him from entering Pathanamthitta, where Sabarimala temple is situated
 

The court also advised K Surendran that he should not be involved in other similar offences later. Surendran submitted his passport to the court and also furnished a bond of Rs 2 lakh. Surendran was granted bail in all other cases too.

The court denied bail to BJP leader K Surendran for blocking Chithira Aattatirunal’s entry to Sabarimala and for instigating protests outside the airport while blocking Trupti Desai. 

K Surendran alleged that the Pinarayi Vijayan government is "trying to murder" him while in police custody. 'I have to go to Kozhikode for the warrant on November 30. I have back pain and the police have brought me here. Instructions are being given to the police from Thiruvananthapuram. They are trying to create issues intentionally,' Surendran said

Though BJP leader K Surendran has been granted bail in the case where he allegedly abused top police officers, he won't be released because there is one more case pending against him.

Rahul Easwar was on his way to Sabarimala with the irumudi (an offering for Lord Ayyappa) when the police detained him at Nilakkal. Meanwhile, Ranni court has again rejected the bail plea of BJP state general secretary K Surendran in Kerala. 
 

A new case has been registered against BJP's K Surendran, who had received bail recently after his arrest over a clash at Sabarimala. The new case was lodged for blocking a 52-year-old, woman who came to Sabarimala for her grandchild's 'choroonu' (a ceremony where the child is fed rice for the first time). 

The protesters demanded that the BJP leader K Surendran be released and alleged that the police had arrested a devotee.
