Oomen Chandy plays down the slide in his voteshare.
Former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said the United Democratic Front’s defeat at the hustings was unexpected.
However, triumph and defeat were twins, and he treated them equally. The UDF respected the will of the people.
When pressed that his lead in Puthupally had dwindled significantly, Mr. Chandy said his lead was lesser when he contested the Assembly for the first time from his home turf 50 years back.
