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.

Thiruvananthapuram, April 16 : Former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy s dream of taking Kerala to the development status of the Nordic countries is yet to materialise, had it been so, then Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan would have been subjected to a heavy fine, similar to what happened to the Prime Minister of Norway, Erna Solberg.
Solberg was fined 20,000 Norwegian kroner (approximately 2,000 Euros), last Friday, for breaking the country s Covid protocols by organising a family birthday dinner.
And far away in India s most literate state Kerala, Vijayan has been accused by all and sundry for blatantly breaking the Covid protocols, which was seen by all when TV channels came out with the visuals.
