‘As dog went to seashore’

‘As dog went to seashore’ (patti kadappurathupoyathu pole) is an old Malayalam usage to spell out a futile exercise. Former KPCC President K Muraleedharan’s trip to New Delhi and back in connection with his homecoming to the party is in tune with this. Murali wanted to return back to the Congress party before the panchayat polls. However, Congress State President Remesh Chennithala and Oommen Chandy fear that Murali’s entry to the party would not only spoil their chances but that of the party also. Muralidharan has done enough damage to the party according to them and they succeeded in convincing the High Command at New Delhi in this regard.

So the only option left to Murali is to give up the begging bowl and field own candidates to teach the opponents a lesson.
