KC Venugopal Urges Naming Vizhinjam Port After Oommen Chandy

KC Venugopal, a leader in the Congress party, spoke at a memorial event for Oommen Chandy, a former Chief Minister of Kerala.

He suggested that the Vizhinjam International Seaport should be named after Oommen Chandy because Chandy had a big role in making the port project happen.

Venugopal also talked about how Chandy was a great public servant who listened to people's problems and worked to solve them.

He mentioned that Chandy's way of governing, which was very open and honest, was liked by the people.

This helped the Congress party win the recent elections.

Chandy's son, Chandy Oommen, also spoke and asked people to avoid controversies during the memorial event.
