KOCHI: The candidature of actor Dharmajan Bolgatty has been confirmed in the assembly polls. The actor’s meeting with AICC secretary P V Mohanan discussed his winnability but a final decision was not taken on where to contest.

He is mainly considered in two constituencies of the state. It is assessed that his winnability is not strong in both places. He was first considered in Balussery which is a dalit reservation constituency. Although the actor claims to have deep ties in the constituency, many including the dalit congress is against his candidature. The congress is examining his chances of victory. It will be assessed by Rahul Gandhi’s team.

Balussery is presently CPM’s sitting seat and the party has strong roots in this constituency. The Muslim League is also strong here. Many from the congress is keen in contesting from here this time. In that case, the congress may field him in Vypin. It is assessed that this constituency has more chances of success. He will also get the benefit of being a native of Kochi. His stand is that he will contest in any constituency suggested by the party.
