19 BJP councillors retake oath in Thiruvananthapuram Corporation after Kerala HC invalidates earlier ceremony
19 BJP councillors in Thiruvananthapuram Corporation have retaken their oaths following a High Court ruling that invalidated their previous ones. The court mandated strict adherence to the prescribed format, disallowing any additions like deities or "Mother India." This decision stems from challenges to oaths taken by 20 BJP councillors who had invoked Hindu deities and political martyrs. The BJP currently holds a majority in the 101-member civic body.
