The BJP, which was spearheading the agitation against the entry of young women at Sabarimala, Thursday announced its decision to shift its protest from the temple complex to the state capital to intensify its stir.
Reacting to the saffron party's move, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the decision to "stop" the protest in Sabarimala was because the BJP had got an inkling of the secular minds of the people in the state.
Talking to reporters here, he said, "We can see that the measures adopted by the governmentin Sabarimala have been welcomed by everyone.
Now, BJP has stopped their protest in Sabarimala..
change can be seen there.."
Rejecting reports that BJPwas ending its Sabarimala agitation, he said, "The party will launch indefinite hunger strike before the Secretariat from December 3."
