New Delhi, May 14: A significant decision regarding the new Chief Minister of Kerala is expected soon. KC Venugopal, the Congress National General Secretary and Lok Sabha MP, is considered the leading candidate for the position. Amidst speculations, a meeting took place in New Delhi on Wednesday between KC Venugopal and senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
In Thiruvananthapuram, a major meeting was held involving the Congress legislative party, attended by Rahul Gandhi and KC Venugopal. This meeting occurred at Rahul Gandhi’s residence on 5, Safdarjung Lane. While the official agenda of the meeting has not been disclosed, it has stirred considerable activity in political circles.
Senior leaders Deepa Dasmunshi, Ajay Maken, and Mukul Wasnik are still present in New Delhi, indicating that final discussions at the top level are ongoing. Party leaders have repeatedly hinted that an announcement would be made on Thursday, but suspense is expected to linger until the afternoon.
Meanwhile, all newly elected Congress legislators have been instructed to gather at the state party headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram by noon. Following this, a Congress legislative party meeting is scheduled for 1 PM. This gathering is seen as a clear signal that the party is preparing for an official announcement as soon as it receives final approval from the high command.
There are also reports that the newly elected legislators may conduct a roadshow to ‘Lok Bhawan’ after their meeting. Additionally, sources claim that Kerala Congress President Sunny Joseph has already contacted Kerala Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar regarding the government formation process.
It is noteworthy that despite the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) securing an absolute majority in the Kerala Assembly elections announced on May 4, the name of the Chief Minister has yet to be finalized, causing delays in the formation of the government.
