Leaders complained that not a single state leader was inducted into the newly-constituted national body of the party while P.K. Krishna Das, the lone representative in the outgoing body, was dropped from the post of secretary.A few others were saddened that the state's senior most leader O. Rajagopal's name also did not figure in the list of new governors.

A senior leader, not willing to be named, said: "All expect things will change as Shah means business. His first target is next year's local bodies polls -- billed as the semi-final -- ahead of the 2016 state polls, as the national leadership wants BJP to open its account in the 140-member Kerala assembly."Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh supremo Mohan Bhagwat, in the state for the past few days, also reached here Sunday and will meet Shah.With IANS
