He is the most qualified to represent India in the United Nations. No doubt about that. Speaks well in good English. Then I asked what was the reason for coming to Thiruvananthapuram and contesting.
But surprisingly, he has managed to influence the minds of the people of Thiruvananthapuram. That is why he wins again and again in Thiruvananthapuram.
I doubt if anyone else will get a chance in the near future. Anyway, I am proud that the people of Palakkad contributed such a person. This is a matter of pride not only for the people of Palakkad but for all the Malayalis.
Anyway, long live him. May his service be more available. I pray that God bless him,” said Rajagopal.
