I was invited to be CM: Gouri Amma

ALAPPUZHA: JSS president Gouri Amma on Tuesday reiterated her claim that she was invited by the LDF to be the chief minister during the last assembly election. She also added that Central committee member T M Thomas Isaac himself had invited her to be an LDF candidate.
         
Gouri Amma said Pinarayi’s statement that she was not invited may be because of his “memory loss”. “The fact that I had held discussion with the CPM regarding my return to the party is true. But I had to reject their offer since they were only interested in taking me back and no one else from the JSS. After this my discussion with the CPM entered a deadlock,” she said.  

Meanwhile, Thomas Isaac, MLA, has expressed surprise over Gouri Amma’s statement. “We might have discussed with her different matters in Alappuzha, considering that she was an MLA. But nothing regarding the post of chief minister had come up for discussion then,” he said.
