ControversiesDisqualified by Lok Sabha

In July 2010, R.S. Anil of the Communist Party of India (CPI), who was defeated by K Suresh in 2009 Lok Sabha elections, filed a case against him and alleged that Suresh was a born Christian but later converted to Hinduism. The Kerala High Court disqualified his Lok Sabha candidacy but he approached the Supreme Court of India which reversed Kerala High Court's decision.

Comments against Oommen Chandy

In 2017, he criticized then-Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in an interview with a TV channel and claimed that the office-bearers of Kerala Congress were not happy with Chandy's actions. His comments made many people of Kerala Congress angry who complained to the party high command to take action against him.

Demanding ban on RSS

In September 2022, after the Indian central government banned the Muslim extremist group the Popular Front of India (PFI), K Suresh demanded a ban on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) claiming that it was a Hindi extremist group and was spreading hate in the country. His actions were criticised by many Hindu groups.
