Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam leader Vellappally Natesan on Sunday said discussions within the Congress over the Chief Minister candidate are premature and should take place only after the election results are announced. Speaking to reporters, Mr. Natesan said such debates would be inappropriate if the LDF returns to power. “After the election results, if the LDF comes to power, such discussions will be shameful. It would have been better to hold them after the results,” he said. The Kerala Assembly election was held on April 9 and the results will be announced on May 4.
