Kochi : Byelection result in Thrikkakara is one that was not expected, said CPI(M) District Secretary CN Mohanan. I acknowledge people’s verdict. Considering work carried out month-long, this kind of outcome was least expected. Details of the result needs to be examined. Vote lag by this huge margin is hard to believe. Other matters shall be discussed later. Compared to the amount of work done, vote numbers should have been higher. Shall own that up as self-criticism, said Mohanan.
It is district level party that helmed poll activities. The Chief Minister and other ministers arrived in the constituency as per party decision. The poll result cannot taken as reflection on the government. It is not a statewide election. Rather, it is only a one-constituency polling. LDF decided upon just one candidate. Shall detail on other matters after assessment, said Mohanan.
