PATHANAMTHITTA : Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala on Thursday said one will know whether former BJP leader Sandeep Varier’s entry into the Congress is a boon for the party after the Palakkad by-election results are declared.
Responding to a query from reporters in Pathanamthitta, Chennithala said: “As I’ve been busy with the Maharashtra assembly elections, I came to know the developments over phone. Sandeep Varier had also called me.” Chennithala also asked the reporters why they did not ask the same question when former Congress leader P Sarin joined the CPM.
Asked about the controversy over Varier’s offer to donate land to the RSS, Chennithala told reporters: “Ask such questions to Sandeep.” He said the Congress will win the Palakkad bypoll by a huge margin.
