Alappuzha,
April 18:
Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee vice-president and Parliament
member K. Muralidharan, yesterday said that the problems in the
Congress were not fully settled and some minor issues, which could
not be solved on an impulse, were still pending.
According to Muralidharan, differences in opinion were a part of
every democratic party like Congress. ‘‘But our internal
problems will not be reflected in the elections and the Congress
workers will unite to see that the LDF government does not come
to power again,’’ he said.
Referring to Cherian Philip opting to contest from Puthupally constituency
as an Independent candidate, he said that there was still time for
him to think and come back to Congress.
Disciplinary action would be taken against him if he contests polls
with support from the LDF, he added.
Regarding complaints that the youth had not been properly represented
in Congress’ list of candidates, Muralidharan said the party
had announced its list of candidates and had tried to accomodate
all its sitting MLAs. There would not be any change in it again
and strict action would be taken against those who contest as rebel
candidates, he said.
When asked whether he was an aspirant for the chief minister’s
position and whether his party was portraying him as one, the KPCC
vice president said: ‘‘I am satisfied with the position
I am holding. I am not a chief ministerial candidate of the UDF.
The chief ministerial candidate will be decided by the MLAs and
the final word will be that of the high command.’’
Muralidharan flayed the LDF government in the state for its anti-people
policies and added that the people of the state are longing to see
the end to this government. ‘‘Corruption charges are being
levelled against the Marxist leaders and ministers. Even their allies
have raised corruption charges against LDF convener V.S. Achuthanandan.’’
Expressing possibilities of BJP opening its account in the state
Assembly with the help of the LDF, he alleged that there were moves
from the Marxist party to vote for C.K. Padmanabhan, the BJP candidate
from Manjeshwaram.
