UDF is heading for a clear victory with 100+ seats leading. Voters gave them this mandate trusting V D Satheesan as their CM. Him not even being visible on the morning press meet whereas K C Venugopal and Ramesh Chennithala were clearly hogging the spotlight, is kinda disappointing.
UDF’s victory margin came on the back of voter trust in Satheesan’s leadership, not party elders. He was the face of the campaign. He campaigned for the new wave of UDF across Kerala and people voted for his vision and leadership.
We voted for change, not the same old guard. K C Venugopal and Ranesh Chennithala represent the old system. That’s not what people wanted.
If Satheesan was good enough to be the face of the campaign, why isn’t he good enough to be CM? If he’s being pushed aside now, UDF just betrayed every voter who believed in their campaign.
