Deadlock continues in Congress over four seats

Kochi | Monday | 18th March, 2019

Summary:

With Shanimol also pitching for Wayanad, the leaders are waiting for Chandy to reach Delhi to evolve a consensus. Prakash is being considered in Alappuzha since he belongs to Ezhava community and the Congress feels that he has better chance here than Shanimol. Since there is no consensus among the groups, A K Antony has suggested the name of Malappuram DCC president V V Prakash for the seat.Adoor Prakash and Shanimol Usman are the front runners for Attingal and Alappuzha. Ramesh Chennithala suggested Siddique’s name in Vadakara, but Chandy did not accept it. We need to have more discussions and hence we have called Oommen Chandy to New Delhi..
