Kottayam (Kerala) March 13 (TIWN) A large number of women party workers were among those who took part in a sit-in protest in front of the residence of former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy here on Saturday, raising slogans that he would not be allowed to leave his Puthupally constituency to contest from Nemom in the state capital district.
A youth supporter Justin, was seen squatting on the roof of his house threatening to jump, while other anxious supporters urged him to calm down. He said he would descend only after he gets Cahndy's assurance. For the past four days, Chandy was in Delhi finalising the list of 91 candidates and the only news that was being aired over and over was that the former CM will be contesting from Nemom to stop the canards being spread by the CPI-M, that the BJP and Congress are hand in glove to purposefully manage the Muslim votes.
