The government has no plans to ease out Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) president A. Padmakumar or make any changes to the Kerala State Devaswom Recruitment Board, a top government source said. Mr. Rajagopalan Nair and Mr. Vasu were away in New Delhi. Mr. Nair told The Hindu after arriving in the capital that the TDB had never rejected the Supreme Court verdict on women’s entry to Sabarimala. The Supreme Court hearing on Wednesday was confined to the legal sustainability of the review and writ petitions and nothing else was considered. Both Mr. Rajagopalan Nair and Mr. Vasu later called on CPI(M) State secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan and apprised him of the developments.
