After a dismal show in Thrissur LS polls, Youth Congress slams district leadership

Thrissur : With Congress candidate K Muraleedharan ending up third in the Lok Sabha elections in Thrissur, the Youth Congress has raised criticism against the Congress district leadership. They alleged that the district leadership was responsible for the dissatisfaction and alienation of the people of Thrissur towards the Congress.

The representatives of the Youth Congress said that TN Prathapan and DCC President Jose Vallur are responsible for giving a free hand to the Sangh Parivar in Thrissur. The leadership’s inefficiency is evident across all constituencies in the district, including Chalakudy and Alathur. The UDF leadership failed to coordinate election activities effectively, they said.
