THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In a major development, former Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) President A. Padmakumar has made explosive revelations regarding the controversial Sabarimala women’s entry. Padmakumar alleged that he and the then-ADGP S. Sreejith were deliberately and systematically sidelined from the core security and administrative operations to facilitate the entry of young women into the hilltop shrine. According to his disclosures, the entire operation was orchestrated behind the scenes by a powerful individual who possessed immense influence within the ruling political leadership and the party structure. Amid speculations that the CPIM might initiate disciplinary action against him, reports indicate that Padmakumar is preparing to release these facts through his upcoming autobiography.
Padmakumar reportedly shared these shocking behind-the-scenes details during a private conversation with his close confidants. He revealed that on the exact day women entered the Sabarimala temple, he was explicitly instructed by higher-ups to cancel his scheduled journey to the shrine and report to the state capital, Thiruvananthapuram, instead. However, upon reaching the designated location, he was abruptly denied permission to meet the high-profile individual. He ultimately learned about the successful entry of the women at the Sannidhanam through breaking news on television.
The upcoming autobiography being drafted by Padmakumar is expected to shed light on several closely guarded secrets from the women’s entry period, alongside controversies surrounding a notorious temple gold scam. Regarding the gold case, he claimed that the word ‘copper’ was fraudulently inserted into official Devaswom records by someone else. Padmakumar disclosed to his friends that he was subsequently pressured and forced to sign those altered documents against his will. The political circles in Kerala are now eagerly waiting to see what other sensational disclosures will be uncovered in the autobiography, as Padmakumar has firmly asserted to his friends that he will expose the unvarnished truth in his book.
