Thiruvananthapuram ∙ Ramesh Chennithala, a regular invitee of the Congress Working Committee, said that the rectification argument led by those including himself against K. Karunakaran was wrong.
Regret it. The corrective argument stems from the idea that excessive filial affection leads the leader astray. Kerala society was against Makkal politics at that time. That is not the case today. Makkal politics is universal. No one sees anything wrong with that.
Senior journalist C.P. Chennithala expressed this reluctance in his new book ‘Ramesh Chennithala: Knows and Knows’ written by Rajasekharan.
He has always worked only under the party. But often the party did not do justice to him.
A conscious effort was made to brand the brand as representative of a community. It was also encouraged by some in the party. Despite being a senior leader of the party in Kerala, the name of the community has been kept aside. It is also sad that the party did not come to protect when the party enemies surrounded and attacked.
During 2016-21, the party did not support the Left government even when it brought to light one by one the corruptions. He is a person who believes that party is important and not status. But that belief cost him political losses. During the Oommen Chandy government’s tenure in 2011, when the discussions regarding the fifth ministerial post got tough, he turned down the deputy chief ministership that was promised to him. Chennithala also says in the book that she became the Home Minister on the advice of Sonia Gandhi.
