Thiruvananthapuram – Tharoor can now fully unleash the rebellious streak that has been attributed to him with parallel tours and so on. He can no longer be left behind in Kerala by labeling him as a leader who lacks the trust and confidence of the Congress national leadership. Seeing that he is also a member of the highest echelon of the party, Tharoor will have to be careful in his stances and reactions. He can no longer complain that the Congress has neglected him. The AICC decision is to keep Tharoor closer to the Congress as he had earlier believed that he would not be considered.
Although he had no objection to Tharoor coming to the working committee, Ramesh Chennithala is upset that his way through it was blocked. When Tharoor contested against Mallikarjun Kharge, Chennithala was one of Kharge’s chief campaigners at the national level. After losing the position of Leader of the Opposition, he feels pained that despite fulfilling all the duties assigned by the party, he did not reach the position he deserved. Centers related to Chennithala are also giving indications that they will report this to the central leadership.
However, the leaders informed him that the only reason for the inclusion of Tharoor and Venugopal was the limitation of including Chennithala as a third party. Chennithala’s election is seen by many as the first step in Congress’ return to national duties.
Kodikunnil Suresh is the first Dalit leader from Kerala to be invited to the working committee. Although he may be removed from the post of KPCC working president, Kodikunu’s influence in the state unit of the party will increase.
A.K. There were distant indications that Mullapally Ramachandran or MM Hasan might be considered for the national leadership if Antony and Oommen Chandy were to disappear from the working committee. With the decision to retain Anthony, such discussions also died down.
