"We have 20 parliament seats in Kerala, last time we won 19 parliamentary seats out of 20... The Kerala leaders assured AICC that this time they'll win 20 out of 20 from Kerala. It will be a big push for INDIA," Venugopal said.

He further mentioned that the entire Kerala people are very much annoyed with the present situation in Manipur.
"Entire Kerala people are very annoyed with the situation of Manipur. There is no statement from PM on this issue. PM is totally insensitive and intolerant of such issues. Congress have a brighter chance as people are fed up with both Center and state government," he added.
