KOTTAYAM: Jaick C Thomas came forward responding to his defeat in the Puthupally bypolls. He welcomed the people’s verdict. Talking to the media, he said there has been an increase in the vote share and the political foundation of the Left Front has not weakened.
‘Nothing has happened in the Left's campaign to undermine the dignity of elections. Have not insulted anyone. The election was held soon after the death of Oommen Chandy. The election took place in the wake of sentimentality. Efforts were also made to maintain the sentimentality,’ said Jaick.
'Standing firmly on the politics tried to put forward. Let's work together for new Puthupally. It is clear from last year's figures that the foundation of the CPM has not broken. Accept the reality of not being able to win. The politics like in 2021 was not discussed this time. The sentiment of Oommen Chandy created big waves. My political fight will continue. Best wishes to the new MLA of Puthupally,' Jaick clarified.
