KOCHI: The writing on the wall is clear for KPCC president Mullappally Ramachandran to exit gracefully now or wait till the party leadership asks him to step down. AICC sources told TNIE that they expected Mullappally, who led the party to one of its worst defeats in the assembly polls, to submit his resignation immediately, as was done by his Assam counterpart.
Assam Pradesh Congress Committee chief Ripun Bora resigned from his post on Sunday evening itself though the Congress fared much better in the northeastern state.“Mullappally Ramachandran’s resignation is expected by the high command and it has informally communicated to him to step down. In two days, if there is no resignation, official routes will be explored. It is left to him to exit gracefully. The Assam PCC president took the moral responsibility for the defeat and resigned. The same was expected of Mullappally,” said a party source.
Exit poll specials were aired by several Malayalam channels on 29 and 30 April.

NEW DELHI: The legislative assembly election results in Kerala were declared on 2 May, and the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) created history by procuring 99 of the total 140 seats, beating anti-incumbency to return to power; the opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) had to settle for the remaining 41 seats while BJP was left empty-handed.
Prior to the election results, several Malayalam channels had broadcast their post-poll predictions, and Mathrubhumi News has emerged as the only Malayalam channel which managed to predict the mood of the people of Kerala almost perfectly.

G. Stephen pips sitting legislator K.S. Sabarinathan to seat by 5,046 votes
Aruvikkara, a Congress stronghold where it has never lost since 1991, witnessed a major upset with LDF candidate G. Stephen defeating sitting MLA K.S. Sabarinathan by a margin of 5,046 votes. For Mr. Sabarinathan, who was widely tipped to win following two consecutive electoral victories and his prominent presence in the UDF s protests, the defeat comes as a shocker.
Mr. Stephen polled 66,776 votes, while Mr. Sabarinathan 61,730. NDA candidate C. Sivankutty was a distant third with just 15,379 votes to his kitty despite the massive campaign he had mounted. The LDF candidate gained an early lead and continued to maintain it till the end, upsetting all projections.
