Kozhikode: K Sudhakaran, the KPCC president and the newly elected MP from Kannur, will hold a meeting with his fellow party member K Muraleedharan this afternoon in Kozhikode.

Sudhakaran will try bringing back Muraleedharan into the party mainfold as the latter has been away from public eye eversince the shocking drubbing he received in the LS polls.

Rahul Gandhi is yet to decide over Wayanad and Rae Bareli, hence, a section believes that Muraleedharan will be roped in with a byelection on the cards. But the Congress veteran is known to be not ‘impressed’ by the offer. And also when it comes to Wayanad, Priyanka Gandhi’s name is being thrown into the ring by a few AICC members. 

Muraleedharan had openly criticised his fellow party members following his humiliating defeat. His sister Padmaja Venugopal, who recently joined the BJP, further added fuel to fire by saying that “her brother was cheated by the same set of people who let her down.”

The Congress State leadership is closely looking into the matters in Thrissur and the district leaders are under radar. 

Muraleedharn finished third in the polls falling behind Suresh Gopi and V S Sunil Kumar.
