Hectic parleys are on to resolve the differences between senior Congress leaders from Kerala over finalisation of candidates for the May 16 Assembly elections, with the state leaders meeting party President Sonia Gandhi.
The leaders met Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Thursday separately in order to iron out some differences over the selection of certain candidates, Congress sources here said.
Meanwhile, local congress leaders in Konni have come out in support of state Revenue minister, Adoor Prakash, whose re-nomination is being opposed, and have stated that any move to deny him ticket, will be opposed by them.
However, Chandy, has made it clear that if norms were to be strictly followed, he also would come under its purview and would have to keep away from polls.
CPI-(M) led LDF and BJP have already announced candidates for majority of seats and began their campaigning. BJP President Amit Shah will be inaugurating the NDA convention on April 9 at Pathanamthitta.
