Thiruvananthapuram mayor denies BJP councillor Sreelekha resigned

A controversy erupted after a message purportedly posted by BJP councillor Sreelekha in a WhatsApp group stated she had submitted her resignation to the Mayor and would provide a copy to the District Collector on October 5.

Thiruvananthapuram Mayor Rajesh initially acknowledged receiving a resignation letter from Sreelekha on September 30 but said he had not forwarded it to the Corporation Secretary. However, the Mayor later denied that Sreelekha had actually resigned, asserting she would continue in her position.
