KK Rama says that it does not matter who is the candidate in Vadakara. If Muralidharan goes to Thrissur, it will be a strong answer for BJP. Yes, Murali can win against Suresh Gopi. Even if Shafi reaches Vadakara, it will be a good fight. Shafi is a leader who points fingers against Pinarayi and asks questions. Shafi has the right to raise questions against Modi in Parliament as well. Muralidharan is a leader who has always stuck with RMP. KK Rama also said that CPM KK Shailaja was being trained in Vadakara.
At the same time, there is an unexpected confusion within the Congress regarding the Lok Sabha election candidature. Congress decided to field K Muralidharan in Thrissur after Padmaja Venugopal would go to BJP and contest in Chalakudy for BJP. With this, TN Prathapan withdrew from the competition film in Thrissur. With Muralidharan, who was to contest in Vadakara shifting to Thrissur, the party also decided to bring Shafi Parampil to Vadakara. But K Muralidharan and Shafi Parambil are equally dissatisfied with the changes in candidature. There were already reports that K Muralidharan was unhappy. However, he stated that he is ready to compete anywhere.
Now there is news that Shafi Param is also unhappy with the party's decision as he does not want to leave Palakkad. Dissatisfaction is with leaving Palakkad, but the stand is that the party will contest the seat. Currently, a meeting of state leaders is being held at KC Venugopal's residence in Delhi to discuss all these issues. Anyway, it is expected that the official decision will be announced by the party after this meeting.
