R Sreelekha, the former Director General of Police in Kerala and a BJP councillor for the Sasthamangalam ward in Thiruvananthapuram, initially announced her resignation from her councillor position. Reports indicated the move followed differences with party leadership regarding the mayoral post and disputes over office space. 

However, Sreelekha later clarified that she would not resign from the BJP or her post as a councillor. She explained that while she had considered resigning due to a lack of cooperation from officials and delays in ward development works—such as damaged roads and missing essential facilities—she decided to remain in office following support from senior party leaders.
