Kerala Assembly polls: RSP-Congress friction deepens in Eravipuram as Congress pushes Karthik Premachandran as candidate
Congress leaders in Kollam are demanding that Karthik Premachandran, son of MP N.K. Premachandran, be fielded to ensure victory for the UDF in the 2026 Kerala Assembly elections. The Congress delegation argues that Karthik Premachandran's image and his father’s influence are crucial for reclaiming the seat, citing his acceptance among various communities and high vote margins secured by his father in previous parliamentary elections. The demand comes amidst a power struggle within the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), which has already led to resignations and protests from party members.
