For over a month, photos of Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy's look-alikes were doing the rounds on social-media platforms. Now, the Congress leader's Saudi doppelganger Hassan al-Assiri is reportedly planning to visit Kerala to meet the CM, after some Keralites reportedly showed him the minister's photo.
Al-Assiri has a striking resemblance to the Kerala CM that is accentuated by grey hair and long nose, completed by a similar grey moustache and a carbon-copy smile.
