“The celebration has not requested for a report. I’ve given my views to the competent authority who sought it. Nothing much less, nothing extra,” Bose informed The Indian Specific.
On June 7, The Indian Specific had reported that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had requested three former bureaucrats–Bose, Jacob Thomas and E Sreedharan–to submit a report after speaking to numerous leaders and candidates on funds despatched from the central BJP to the state unit forward of the just-concluded elections. At the least considered one of them had confirmed to The Indian Specific that the report has been submitted.
However Kerala BJP President Ok Surendran has repeatedly maintained that it was a “hoax” and no such report existed.

We wish to categorically state that the central management of BJP has not deployed any such groups. Now we have our in-built sturdy suggestions mechanisms for overview and experiences. Neither now we have deployed any workforce nor requested for any experiences.”
However Bose has now confirmed {that a} “competent authority” had requested for the report and that he has given it to the identical. At the least three leaders in Kerala BJP have informed The Indian Specific that they have been requested to provide their views on the state of affairs of the celebration by the previous bureaucrats.

The highest management’s transfer to hunt a report from the previous bureaucrats, seen as not a part of any faction throughout the state unit, is critical as B L Santosh, Basic Secretary (Organisation), is in control of the state affairs. On the workplace bearers assembly held earlier this month, it was Santosh who offered the report back to the celebration within the presence of BJP president J P Nadda.

The chief who made the accusation has launched audio clips of the dialog purportedly achieved by Surendran. Nonetheless, Surendran has denied the allegations.
