P.V. Anvar plans Trinamool Congress revamp in Kerala; district meet in Kasaragod on July 19-OxBig News Network

Trinamool Congress Kerala State convener P.V. Anvar is preparing for a major revamp of the party in Kerala, begginning with a district-level leadership meeting in Kasaragod on July 19.

The meeting, scheduled at 4 p.m. at Puhtiya Kota Fort Vihar auditorium at Kanhangad marks the launch of Mr. Anvar’s campaign to expand the party’s footprint in Kerala.

The move comes after his unexpected performance as an Independent candidate in the Nilambur byelection where he secured around 20,000 votes. Riding on this momentum, Mr. Anvar plans to hold meeting across all 14 districts in the State, aiming to unite dissidents from various political outfits under the Trinamool banner.

With an eye on the 2026 Assembly elections, Mr. Anvar hopes to assert his strength in the upcoming local body polls.

The Kasaragod meeting will outline plans to woo discontented members from other parties and take on the CPI(M), particularly in the panchayat strongholds.

Statewide tour

Mr. Anvar is also expected to undertake a Statewide tour from Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram, raising issues such as wildlife conflict and shortcomings in the district’s health sector.
