News India Live, Digital Desk: There is news of huge infighting in the Congress camp amid the looming assembly elections in the country’s southern state Kerala. According to sources, Rahul Gandhi was so angry after seeing the names included in the second list of candidates that Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had to hastily call a big meeting at midnight. It is being told that this meeting started at 10:30 pm and continued till 2:30 am in the morning, in which Rahul Gandhi showed strict attitude on the ticket distribution formula.

The real reason for Rahul Gandhi’s anger

It is reported that Rahul Gandhi was not at all satisfied with the initial names sent by the Kerala Unit. He believed that distribution of tickets should not be based only on the likes and dislikes of the state unit, but on the basis of ground feedback and rigorous survey. Rahul said in clear words that the party cannot take risks by giving a second chance to candidates whose performance is poor or against whom there is public resentment. After this dissatisfaction, a marathon churning started at Kharge’s residence.

Emphasis on ‘caste equation and social engineering’

During the meeting, Rahul Gandhi strongly raised the issue of ‘social engineering’. He directed that caste equation, participation of youth and representation of women should be taken full care of in the tickets. The result of this was that in the list of 92 candidates released later, Congress has tried to achieve great balance. In this, along with Nair, Ezhava and Christian communities, 52 youth below the age of 50 years have been fielded.

‘No entry’ to MPs: Rahul Gandhi’s tough decision

Another major decision was taken in the meeting which dashed the hopes of many senior leaders. Rahul Gandhi made it clear that no sitting Member of Parliament (MP) will be fielded in the assembly elections. Actually, K. Many big MPs like Sudhakaran and Adoor Prakash were expressing their desire to contest the elections, but Rahul bluntly said that this would increase the burden of by-elections and would send a wrong message among the public. There is also talk of increasing internal strife within the party due to his decision.

Questions raised on factionalism and women’s representation

Even though an attempt was made to control damage in the late night meeting, voices of protest are still being heard. Congress leader Shama Mohammed has publicly expressed her displeasure over women getting less tickets. At the same time, in the local politics of Kerala, K.C. There is a strong murmur within the party regarding the dominance of the Venugopal group. Now it remains to be seen how this ‘intervention’ of Rahul Gandhi and ‘late night class’ of Kharge affects the election results.
