Kottayam: Former Kerala minister K B Ganesh Kumar has lost his position on the Nair Service Society (NSS) director board after failing to secure re-election. The board had vacancies in nine posts, including Kumar's seat, following the completion of members' terms. Although Kumar attended the budget session on Saturday, he was not considered for reappointment and did not contest the election. The other eight members were retained, and VRK Babu was chosen to fill Kumar's place.
Allegations of Undemocratic Removal
Kumar alleged that his removal from the director board was undemocratic. He claimed to have the backing of 12 members in the taluk union and asserted that the opposition did not come from the general secretary's side. Instead, he suggested that certain officials were behind his exclusion. Meanwhile, Sukumaran Nair stated that Ganesh was dropped simply because his term had ended.
New Appointments to the Board
S Suresh Kumar, in-charge president of the Changanassery taluk union, has been nominated as an expert additional member. K Sreesh Kumar was also elected to the NSS council. V R Radhakrishnan, president of the Ranni union, was co-opted to the director board. These changes come as the NSS continues to restructure its leadership.
