PJ Kurien may enter RS again, Sonia to take final decision

Congress president Sonia Gandhi will finally decide on who should go to the Rajya Sabha as the party’s nominee from the state.


A meeting of the Congress election committee held here on Tuesday unanimously urged the Congress president to take a decision in this regard, KPCC president Ramesh Chennithala said here after the meeting.


 He told reporters that no names had cropped up in the meet. ‘’All the names doing the rounds were only the creation of the media,’’ he said. The decision of the committee will be conveyed to Sonia Gandhi, he said and added that the final choice would be known before June 15, the last date for filing nominations for the RS seat. ‘’Unlike the Assembly or Lok Sabha seats, it is the Congress high command which proposes the name of the RS candidates,’’ Ramesh said.
