V.K. Sreekandan, elected to the Lok Sabha in 2019 from the Palakkad constituency representing the Congress party, exudes confidence that his track record will speak volumes for his bid for a second term in Parliament. He spoke at length during a chat with The Hindu.
What do you project as your achievements in the past five years?
I could primarily bring to the government’s notice some major issues of Palakkad that were never raised in the past 25 years. The Palakkad-Kozhikode greenfield highway, the work of which is currently on, is one of the significant achievements. As much as ₹1,800 crore has been spent for land acquisition. Out of the 121-km greenfield highway, 61 km is in Palakkad district.
