President nominates Kerala BJP veteran C. Sadanandan to the Rajya Sabha
The President of India has nominated C. Sadanandan, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) veteran from Kannur district in Kerala, to the Rajya Sabha.
The BJP reckons Mr Sadanandan a “living martyr” after he lost both his legs in a suspected Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] attack in 1994. The lower primary school teacher had contested as the BJP candidate from the Koothuparambu constituency in the 2021 Kerala legislative Assembly elections.
Mr Sadanandan had served as the president of the National Teachers’ Union and is an active member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh think tank, Bharatiya Vichara Kendram.
