Chandy,Chennithala in Congress's Kerala list of candidates

The Congress on Sunday announced its candidates for the April 6 Kerala assembly polls, fielding former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy from Puthuppally and Leader of the Opposition in the assembly, Ramesh Chennithala, from Haripad. Vatakara MP K Muraleedharan has been fielded from Thiruvananthapuram's Nemon constituency, the lone seat won by the BJP in the 2016 assembly polls. Kerala PCC Chief Mullappally Ramachandran, announced the list of 86 candidates out of the 92 seats which the party would be contesting.

Actor Dharmajan will be contesting from Balussery constituency in Kozhikode district. Former tourism minister A P Anil Kumar will fight from Wandoor and youth Congress leader Shafi Parambil, from Palakkad. Youth leaders V T Balram (Thrithala), A M Rohith (Ponnani), Dr Sarin P (Ottapalam), KSU state chief K M Abhijith (Kozhikode North) constituency and former minister K Jayalakshmi are among the other candidates.

Shortly after the candidates list was announced, the Kerala Congress women's wing President Lathika Subhash on Sunday resigned from the post hurt over the denial of Ettumanoor seat to her. She also shaved her head sitting in front of the Congress office in Thiruvananthapuram as a mark of protest. Ms Subahash said it was short of women candidates. Out of 86 only 9 are women. We sought for 20 per cent seats for women.. but at least expected one woman candidate from each district. She also said she would not quit the Congress or join any other party but would live from now onwards as an ordinary party worker.
