"Kunjumon" turned Oomman Chandy is the pet of Puthupally constituency. Puthupally people cannot deny this fact. As h remains an asset to the constituency, he is for the State, KERALA

"Kunjunju" later known as OOMMAN CHANDY was born to Chandy and Baby Chandy in a Syriac Orthodox family on 31 October 1943 in Kumarakom in Kottayam Dist. In the early student's life, he was an activist of KSU and subsequently ventured to serious politics. He was the president of KSU for the State during 1967 to 1969. Later he became the President of the State Youth Congress in 1970. Under the tutelage of Mr Clean, Shri AK Antony, he wore the ministerial dress as Labour Minister during 1977-1978. In 1981, when the great leader Shri K Karunakaran was the Chief Minister , Mr Oomman Chandy was given the Home ministry and later in 1991, he was the Finance Minister. He later became the Chief Minister on 1st Oct 2004. In 2006 he was unseated by the CPM led LDF.

Volumes can be written on his success and the marathon undefeated ride that he has been doing in the arena of PUTHUPALLY is a classic example which has no parallel. Prior to his entry in the Electorate as a candidate, Puthupally was the seat of CPM but in 1970, Oomman Chandy defeated the sitting member of CPM by 7288. Thus started the unbridled movement in the Constituency. Subsequently, his victory's margin were (1) 1977 - 15910 (2) 1980 - 13659 (3) 1982 - 15983, (4) 1987 - 9167 (5) 1991 - 13811 (6) 1996 - 10155 (7) 2001 - 12575 (8) 2006 - 19863.

He remains loyal to the Keralites and his focus remains to the State, her people and their welfare. The undefeated stint he has been keeping in Puthupally is an eye opener to one and all who face defeats in their own constituencies. Under his leadership, the State KERALA can reach a higher level standards in terms of prosperity and human welfare
