Welcome to Season 4, Episode 1 of Congressukaaran - Spilling The Beanz! ☕🎙️

In this premier episode, we sit down with one of Kerala's most talked-about youth political icons—Chandy Oommen MLA.

Moving away from conventional politics with minimal banners, zero-cost PR, and choosing to walk with the people, Chandy Oommen shares his unique evolutionary journey from his KSU days to becoming the MLA of Puthuppally.

In this beautifully unfiltered and deeply emotional session, he addresses the endless rumors, the historic media trials his family endured during the Solar controversies, and how he proudly and humorously reacts to being called a 'Nepo Kid'. He shares a powerful testament to keeping one's word and standing by the citizens—an ethos passed down to him during his father Oommen Chandy's final journey.

Tune in for a highly insightful, emotional, and witty political conversation you definitely cannot miss!
