THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: There are chances for Dr M T Sulekha, widow of G Karthikeyan, to contest in the Aruvikkara assembly seat lying vacant after his demise. She is presently the director of Encyclopedia.
Though she has made it clear that she is not for the race, the party is adamant to field her eyeing victory. It is heard that congress chief Sonia Gandhi will directly put pressure on her to contest. The state leadership think that Sulekha will not say ‘no’ to Sonia.
Though there were hints that Sulekha will not disagree in fielding Karthikeyan’s son, the congress leadership opine that chances of victory are more for Sulekha. As there are many in the fore for the seat, Sulekha’s candidature will help to close their mouth.
As the CPM will soon announce their candidate, the congress will not prolong in proclaiming their candidate.
