Thiruvananthapuram: Congress leader M Liju said that he is not disappointed that he did not get the Rajya Sabha candidature. It is a natural step for many to consider. As the leader of the party, K. Sudhakaran will stand by. Liju told Mathrubhumi News that JB Mehta is eligible to be a candidate.
Liju said he was not disappointed with the non-receipt of the candidature and wholeheartedly welcomed JB’s candidature. To the question of whether some people had come forward to criticize Liju’s candidature – the answer was that it does not make sense to think that everyone should support us. There will be positive and negative reactions. It’s only that way. Liju added that it is the beauty of a democracy.
To the criticism that the losing candidates should not be considered for the Rajya Sabha candidature, he replied that it was the responsibility of the movement to count the victories and defeats. And I’m not one to go looking for a safe seat. He was a man who contested in a very high-risk constituency, the party said. Success or failure is not something that affects the individual. He added that it was considered a failure in the struggle for the movement.
He was a colleague who joined the movement when he was the Youth Congress president. Have worked together. She is currently the President of the State Women’s Congress. Is brilliant. This time the party gave the opportunity to JB. Liju said he wishes them all the best.
