Overview

  • KSU district president Gokul Guruvayoor filed a missing-person complaint on August 10 alleging that Thrissur MP and Union Minister Suresh Gopi had been unreachable in his constituency for about three months and silent on Kerala nuns’ arrest in Chhattisgarh.
  • Police erected an outpost and increased security at Gopi’s Thrissur office in response to KSU’s poster campaigns and plans to file a habeas corpus writ demanding his production.
  • On August 11, Gopi posted photographs of an official meeting with Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas officials in Delhi, highlighting his work on the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana ahead of a Rajya Sabha debate.
  • In a swift tit-for-tat move, the Kerala BJP lodged a missing-person complaint against Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, accusing her of being absent from Wayanad since June and ignoring tribal and disaster-affected areas.
  • Opposition parties have also revived allegations of irregular additions to the Thrissur voter roll in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, linking the controversy to broader questions of electoral integrity and MP accountability.
