The Congress has launched its preparations for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Kerala by organising district-level meetings of its functionaries representing booth, block, and ‘mandalam’ committees.
The first such meeting was held in Kozhikode on Wednesday, where Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president K. Sudhakaran and Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan alleged that the CPI(M) had entered into a tie-up with the BJP for a “Congress-free” State.
Opening the event, Mr. Sudhakaran said that the party should utilise the current “conducive political climate” for its electoral victory. He exhorted the party cadre to gear up for the Parliament election to ensure that the party candidates emerged winners in all the 20 seats in the State.
