K.S. Sabarinadhan, Congress councillor in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, on Thursday (October 15, 2026) filed a police complaint against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) councillor R. Sreelekha over alleged derogatory remarks against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.

Referring to Mr. Gandhi's remarks likening the ongoing protests in Delhi demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to a "thandav", Ms. Sreelekha allegedly said the Congress leader was “displaying the restlessness and frenzy when drugs in excess quantities enter the body and not a thandav.” She was speaking at a BJP event at Punalur in Kollam district recently.
