A triumvirate appears to be attempting to take over the reins of the Congress while Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is keenly focusing on generational transformation eliminating old guards in the CPI(M).
With no elections in the near future, mainstream political parties in Kerala are witnessing an organisational churning as never before in recent times. Perhaps, the political narratives in the State changed with the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)-led Left Democratic Front breaking the 40-year jinx of rotating power between the Left-led parties and the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF). Amid the solid backing of the Central leadership, the newly emerged triumvirate comprising the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K. Sudhakaran, Leader of the Opposition V. D. Satheesan and AICC general secretary (organisation) K. C. Venugopal appear to be attempting to take over the reins of the Congress while Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is keenly focusing on generational transformation eliminating old guards in the CPI(M) with the beginning of party branch conferences by mid-September.More Related News
