KOZHIKODE: Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan said that Team UDF won in Puthupally. He told the Kozhikode media that this model will continue in the upcoming elections as well.
'This victory makes the Congress more humble. Chandy Oommen got the entire support of Kerala. During the campaign, seven questions were asked to the Chief Minister why did he not respond to them. Congress also got the support of good communists in Puthupally. MV Govindan became Pinarayi's piper. The Chief Minister's office is being hijacked by the Public Works Minister's office. An example of this is the process of changing the chairman of Forward Development Corporation. The Puthupally by-election result is a blow to the state government. This is the beginning of the downfall of the CPM. People's protest against the government was seen.' - VD Satheesan said.
