CPI and Congress accuse BJP MP Suresh Gopi of double voting in local elections, claiming he voted in Thiruvananthapuram despite shifting to Thrissur.

The Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Congress hurled allegations of ‘double vote’ against BJP Thrissur MP and Union MoS Suresh Gopi in the wake of the latter voting in Tuesday’s local body elections in Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation limits.

Gopi, along with his wife and family members, cast his vote at a polling booth in Sasthamangalam ward in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday as part of the first phase of the elections to the three-tier local bodies in Kerala. The allegations arose because the BJP leader, and a few of his family members had voted at a polling booth in Nettissery in Thrissur Lok Sabha constituency last year.
