CM wishlist: Congress on sticky wicket as community leaders flex muscles

New Indian Express  

KOCHI: With the assembly elections less than one-and-a-half years away, heads of various community organisations from NSS to SNDP Yogam have made their positions clear as to who they would back as chief minister, in the event of a win by Congress-led UDF. It all started when former home minister and former KPCC president Ramesh Chennithala visited the head offices of NSS and SNDP Yogam three weeks ago. SNDP Yogam general secretary Vellappally Natesan has vouched that Chennithala is the most deserving Congress leader to become chief minister. The Congress leaders should have taken a mature stand that the party’s CM candidate would be elected by its MLAs once they win the elections,” said Sudha Menon, writer and political observer, hinting that none of the Congress leaders showed the political maturity during the current discussions.
