Mr. Satheesan scotched reports of rumblings of dissent in the Congress over Ms. Mether’s candidature. Earlier, RSP leader A.A. Aziz had alleged Ms. Mether’s nomination was a ‘payment’ seat. Other Congress fellow travellers had also taken a dig at Ms. Mether’s candidature on social media.
Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala said the high command had picked Ms. Mether for the seat and the party stood behind her as one. He said he had proposed a different name, but it did not matter now that Congress national president Sonia Gandhi had taken a decision.
