The political affairs committee (PAC) of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) met here on Wednesday to hone key policy offers and clinch national and regional issues that resonate among voters to shape the party’s campaign strategy for the impending Lok Sabha election campaign in the State.
The PAC hoped for a repeat of the 2019 elections when the United Democratic Front (UDF), riding on Rahul Gandhi’s candidature in Wayanad, won 19 out of the 20 parliamentary seats in the State.
The KPCC pointedly rejected a Communist Party of India (CPI) suggestion that Mr. Gandhi not seek re-election from the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency lest it is construed as a sign of weakness and harm the electoral prospects of non-United Democratic Front (UDF) INDIA bloc in Kerala.
