Thrissur Corporation Councillor Leela Varghese, a member of Congress party, has asked the parish council meeting of the Lourdes Metropolitan Cathedral, Thrissur, to clarify about the weight of the golden crown offered by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suresh Gopi to the Church.
“There were allegations that the crown was made of copper and plated with gold. I would like to know the weight of gold in the crown,” she told the parish council.
Mr. Gopi offered the crown to the Church on January 15, a day before his daughter’s wedding, which was held in Guruvayur. There were allegations that the actor’s move was aimed at wooing the Christian voters ahead of the Lok Sabha election.
