Kozhikode: CPM has decided to field party Kannur district secretary P Jayarajan in the LS polls. Though the names of P Sathi Devi, PA Muhammed Riyas and V Sivadasan were raised, P Jayarajan was finalized.
CPM has decided on P Jayarajan as they need a strong candidate to regain the constituency which was lost twice. Most of the people raised his name in the meeting.
CPM calculates that P Jayarajan’s popularity and influence will work in their favour. They are hopeful as Mullappally Ramachandran will not contest this time and the influence of RMP has reduced. They are also positive as the Loktantrik Janata Dal, which was strong in the constituency has returned to the front.
