Kerala CM Announcement News LIVE Updates: Congress is likely to announce the name of the next chief minister of Kerala on Thursday, continuing the suspense amid infighting in the party’s state unit. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi met party president Mallikarjun Kharge in New Delhi.
The delay in the decision has kept the camps of three top contenders–AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan and senior leader Ramesh Chennithala on edge.
Sources said the Kerala leaders called to Delhi by the party leadership during crucial discussions on Tuesday expressed their views on the Chief Ministerial choice, with the names of Venugopal, Satheesan and Chennithala figuring prominently in the consultations as the high command continued its deliberations.
