During a recent constituency committee meeting, a vote was conducted to gauge support for the candidates. Constituency Secretary N. Noushad secured 8 votes, while Karthik Premachandran and M.S. Gopakumar followed closely with 7 votes each. While a section of the party decries the move as “dynasty politics,” others point to Karthik’s perceived “winnability” and academic credentials as an Assistant Professor at TKM College of Engineering as major assets. The Youth Congress has also intervened, demanding a young candidate for Eravipuram and indicating their support for Karthik if the seat remains with the RSP. The final decision now rests with the District Committee, which must navigate these internal frictions and the pressure for “youthful blood” in the upcoming polls. (Kerala New)
