KOZHIKODE: Following his defeat in Thrissur, K Muralidharan finds himself at odds with the party. In Kozhikode, posters and boards have emerged, rallying support for Muralidharan's leadership.

One such poster reads, "Let the hero lead..." It praises Muralidharan's unwavering commitment to secularism and acknowledges his pivotal role in defending the party's honour and the rights of its workers. The message emphasizes that without Muralidharan's leadership, the party's unity is at stake. These displays of solidarity have surfaced across various parts of the city, attributed to Kozhikode Congress workers.

Despite the support, Muralidharan has announced his temporary withdrawal from public activities. However, his stance remains firm amidst ongoing discussions within the party.

KPCC president K. Sudhakaran visited Muralidharan at his residence in Kozhikode to address the situation. Sudhakaran assured Muralidharan of the party's willingness to fulfill any requests he might have. Furthermore, there were promises of Wayanad constituency if Rahul Gandhi decides to step down. Despite these offers, Muralidharan stands resolute in his position.
