Gender inclusivity mere words for Congress in polls
New Indian ExpressKOCHI: In the euphoria of success, it is easy to forget one’s shortcomings. Speaking to TNIE on Saturday, immediately after UDF’s victory in two of the three by-elections in the state, Leader of the Opposition V D Satheesan praised the work put in by Congress youth leaders, including Shafi Parambil, P C Vishnunath, Roji M John, and Mathew Kuzhalnadan. KPCC secretary Jyothi Radhika Vijayakumar was once considered a candidate for the Vattiyoorkavu assembly and Rajya Sabha elections, only to be omitted on both occasions at the eleventh hour. Veena Nair, state general secretary of the Youth Congress, who contested the Vattiyoorkavu seat in 2021, is now nowhere in the election picture. Vidya Balakrishnan, national secretary of the Youth Congress, is a two-time member of the KPCC screening committee, which finalises the list of candidates before it is hand over to the AICC.
