THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: It has been hinted that the announcement regarding the candidature of Mizoram Governor Kummanam Rajashekaran will be made on March 4. He will face polls after resigning his governor’s post. The state leadership had informed this to the central leadership. RSS has given directions to get ready for electioneering after Kummanam informed his willingness to contest polls.

The party state leadership meeting had demanded to field him in Thiruvananthapuram where winning chances are there. The district committee meet had come to the fore voicing this. The leadership had earlier plans to field Suresh Gopi and K Surendran. At the last minute, they decided to field Kummanam. This was following the assessment that it would be beneficial to field Kummanam as there is a favourable stand following Sabarimala issue.

Meantime, having close links with NSS is a favourable stand for K Surendran. The national leadership has instructed to make ready the candidates list for other constituencies. Before that a decision should be taken after holding discussions with allied parties.
