Dithering Congress takes wind out of UDF sails

Deccan Chronicle  

KOCHI: Fatigue is written largely on the faces of Congressmen across the state, waiting for party president Rahul Gandhi to announce whether he would contest from Wayanad or not. That is how it looked on Friday evening, given the intense lobbying launched by NCP boss Sharad Pawar and Sharad Yadav of Loktantrik Janata Dal with Rahul Gandhi against contesting from Wayanad. AICC general secretary Oommen Chandy, PCC president Mullappally Ramachandran and opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala, in group-wise hurrahs, vouched for Rahul’s southern sojourn. Yet it is intriguing why the soft-spoken Muslim League supremo Panakkad Hyder Ali Shihab Thangal plumped for Rahul even after Chandy and Chennithala prevaricated over what they had said more than a week back about Rahul’s candidature.
