Ahead of Kerala assembly elections, disagreement is growing within Congress over the first list of candidates. Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, expressed dissatisfaction with ticket distribution in Kerala, after which a Central Election Committee meeting was chaired by Gandhi, Kharge and senior leaders. A key decision was taken that no sitting MP would be fielded in assembly elections. Sources reveal roughly 60% of candidates in the list are identified as close to Lok Sabha MP and party general secretary K.C. Venugopal. Rahul Gandhi pushed for a more structured presentation in the CEC, factoring in caste equations, winnability and electoral track records, rather than relying solely on names recommended by the state unit. Party cadre also highlighted concerns over women’s representation in the list. BJP and other political voices reacted to the Congress candidate selection process and women’s representation issues.
