Having represented the Kozhikode Lok Sabha constituency for three terms continuously, M.K. Raghavan of the Congress has almost confirmed his candidacy for the fourth time. Ahead of the forthcoming elections, he opens up to The Hindu’s correspondent Aabha Raveendran.
Fifteen years ago, you had to introduce yourself to the electorate. Now you are their ‘Raghavettan’. How did you earn the trust of the voters?
Irrespective of politics or religion, I give them attention, listen to their issues patiently and try to resolve them in whatever way I can. I am never aggressive. They know I am available round the clock. My gates are always open and I am ready to listen to them even at midnight.
