The round of meetings was going on in Delhi since the election results. On one hand, Rahul Gandhi's most trusted and AICC general secretary K.C. Venugopal, who was believed to have the support of a large section of MLAs. On the other hand, there was VD Satheesan, who as the leader of the opposition had given a tough challenge to Pinarayi Vijayan's government from the House to the streets in the last five years. According to sources, Venugopal seemed to have the upper hand, but grassroots workers and young MLAs were adamant that 'the crown should be placed on the one who was leading the army on the battlefield.' Ultimately Priyanka Gandhi and A.K. After the mediation of senior leaders like Antony, the name of Satheesan was agreed upon.
