New Delhi,14/5: Sidestepping the claims of senior leaders KC Venugopal and Ramesh Chennithala, the Congress on Thursday chose a younger V D Satheesan to be the next Kerala Chief Minister after considering his public support and the leadership he gave to the party, while in opposition, in the state.The decision was announced here at a press conference by Congress’ Kerala in-charge Deepa Dasmunsi, soon after Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi concluded his nearly two-and-half-hour-meeting with Venugopal, who is also General Secretary.
