IDUKKI: S Rajendran became a candidate in Devikulam not because he was a Brahmin. Instead, he was nominated as candidate because he belonged to the SC category, said senior CPM leader and former power minister M M Mani. Mani was responding to Rajendran’s allegation that it was the party which highlighted the caste issue during the assembly election to Devikulam seat but not him.
“Devikulam being a reservation seat how a candidate could be fixed without considering his caste?,” Mani asked.
