Kasaragod: In a significant political development in the Trikkarippur Assembly constituency, Sandeep Variyar has emerged as a surprise Congress candidate, reshaping the electoral dynamics ahead of the upcoming elections.
The 10,448-vote majority secured by former MLA K. P. Kunhikannan Unnithan in the previous election is now being seen as a crucial benchmark for the Congress party in the constituency.
Amid internal discussions and reported disagreements within the party, the unexpected candidacy of Sandeep Variyar has sparked widespread debate. Party workers believe that his entry could attract younger voters and energize the campaign.
Meanwhile, rival fronts have intensified their campaign efforts in Trikkarippur, making the contest increasingly competitive. Political observers note that while the previous victory margin offers confidence to Congress, the evolving political scenario could make the upcoming election a closely watched battle in Kerala politics.
