THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Congress working committee member A K Antony said the CPM leadership will start in Pinarayi and end in Pinarayi. The Congress leadership is rich for the next twenty-five years. The CPM activists who know that the party will die if the next government assumes power, will vote for the Congress. Talking to Kerala Kaumudi Online, Antony said there is a nexus between the CPM and the BJP in the state.

Shafi Parambil will have an easy win in Palakkad. It was Rajagopal who won in Nemon and not the BJP. The people of Thiruvananthapuram had a special affection and sympathy for Rajagopal, who had contested and lost several elections. This time there will be an assembly without BJP in Kerala. If the Congress comes to power, one working in Kerala will be the chief minister, he said.
