The Congress’s Kerala unit is facing trouble between the current leadership and the Oommen Chandy-Ramesh Chennithala alliance since the announcement of the names of 14 district DCC presidents, with former chief minister Chandy saying there was no proper discussion in the state before a decision was taken. Had happened.
KPCC President K Sudhakaran and Leader of Opposition VD Satheesan both opposed the idea and said discussions were held with both Chandy and Chennithala. Sudhakaran also showed his diary to reporters to prove that discussions were held with Chandy before finalizing the names of district Congress committee presidents.
He also pointed out that it was unusual for a democratic party like the Congress not to hold discussions. “Earlier only two groups used to discuss, now we are discussing with everyone. Indiscipline will not be tolerated and action will be taken against those who break party discipline. Wait six months and see what changes are going to come in the Congress party.
The list of new DCC chiefs also outlines the new power axis in the Kerala Congress led by Satheesan, Sudhakaran and AICC general secretary KC Venugopal.
Amid the rift, senior Congress leader and former Palakkad DCC president AV Gopinath on Monday resigned from the primary membership of the party. Gopinath had protested against not giving him a ticket in the assembly elections held earlier this year.
The Congress has two major groups in Kerala, led by Chandy and Chennithala.
Senior journalist and political analyst Jacob George said, “The situation in Congress is serious. Chandy is a leader who has contributed a lot to the Congress. He is the General Secretary of AICC and he is being questioned in a way that he does not understand.
George said Chandy’s open statement meant “he was hurt.” “Congress is not healthy enough for this kind of infighting at the moment.”
The new leadership has a tough task ahead, and it will require the support of senior Congress leaders like Chandy and Chennithala to strengthen the party in the state.
