Thiruvananthapuram : Even before the Congress leadership could begin consultations on Kerala’s next Chief Minister, social media had already picked its favourite, with a massive war of words now underway. After the Congress’s resounding comeback to power, Rahul Gandhi took to social media to congratulate UDF leaders and workers for what he called a hard-fought and well-run campaign.
“Rahul ji, when the UDF failed to win in 2021, many people believed there would be no comeback. It was VD Satheesan who restored people’s confidence. He deserves nothing less than the Chief Minister’s post,” a user named Nasarudheen Mannarkkad wrote. “CM… only one name, VD Satheesan… please don’t play high command games… only VDS,” another user, Surya KS, wrote, echoing the views of hundreds of others.
The people handed this victory not just to the Congress, but to Satheesan as well. He worked tirelessly, running around to ensure this win. He also has the vision needed in a Chief Minister,” a Facebook user named Thejodharan Potty wrote, calling on the other two leaders to publicly state that they are not in the race “because the public mood is very clear”.
VD Satheesan, who served as Leader of the Opposition in the Kerala Assembly, was the face of the party in the run-up to the election. He single-handedly took on the Left government at many critical junctures over the past five years, helping the Congress recover from its 2021 defeat and return to power. This has only added to the anguish among his supporters.
MP Vincent, who identifies himself as a politician on social media, argued that “the real foundation” behind the UDF’s resounding victory was the micro-management strategies implemented by KC Venugopal. “Instead of relying on conventional poster campaigns, he designed the campaign through precise data analysis of voters in each booth,” he claimed in a Facebook post.
