The post about the BJP Councillor taking her oath in Sanskrit written in Malayalam script is gratuitous. Even though this twitter post comes from an apparent BJP opponent, it adopts the unfortunate Sanghi expectation that the whole of India conform to their expectation of Indianness.

Sanskrit written in the Malayalam script has a long history. Writing it in a different script than the usual Devnagari doesn't make it any less Sanskrit than what the current arbiters of Indianness would approve.
