Party or son - a father’s dilemma
By IANSTuesday, March 31, 2009
NEW DELHI - It is a tough choice indeed. Veteran Congress leader K. Karunakaran has to side with either his party or his son.
His son K. Muraleedharan is seeking a mandate in Kerala’s hilly Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency on a Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) ticket. But it is a Congress stronghold and the father can’t possibly campaign for the son.
Hills, valleys and pits are not big deal for Karunakaran, who has overcome many hurdles in his eventful political life. But he may now be wondering how to boost his son’s chances.
Karunakaran, who is keeping mum on the candidature of M.I. Shahnawaz for the Congress, said: ‘Murali is also contesting polls to win.’
