THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Ahead of the assembly elections, the Congress high command has brought back former Kerala CM Oommen Chandy to the helm of UDF. This comes after a meeting between state party leaders and Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi on Monday.
The high command has constituted a committee headed by Chandy to spearhead Congress’ election process. Leader of the opposition Ramesh Chennithala will be part of the committee. Party member A K Antony said Ramesh and Chandy will both contest polls. But, UDF will not be projecting anyone as the chief ministerial candidate and the high command will decide on the same after the election. “High command has made it clear that this time most candidates of the Congress will be new faces,” he said.
