Panel of veterans to guide campaign, candidate selection
The All India Congress Committee (AICC) has reportedly tapped former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy to lead the party into the electoral fray in the coming Assembly election in the State.
The AICC had nominated a high-power committee to finalise candidate selection and formulate electioneering strategy. It has tipped Mr. Chandy to head the panel.
The Congress has not named Mr. Chandy or any other leader as its Chief Minister candidate.
However, Mr. Chandy’s track record as a powerful mobiliser in the provincial Congress party seemed to have powered his “ascendancy”. The AICC also hoped to draw on Mr. Chandy’s long innings in government and Opposition to bring the Congress closer to coalition partners, social organisations and community leaders ahead of the election.

The Swatantra Party was a rainbow-like phenomenon in Indian politics: bright and beautiful; yet short lived. It represented different socio-economic classes, and interests across both business and agriculture. It had an elitist complexion, yet had large numbers of peasantry in its ranks.
