Anil Kumar trains his guns on Raghavan

Mr. Kumar was suspended from the primary membership for criticising the leadership during a news channel debate

Less than a day after he was suspended for making public statements criticising the appointment of district Congress committee (DCC) presidents, K.P. Anil Kumar, former KPCC general secretary in charge of organisation, on Sunday trained his guns on M.K. Raghavan, Kozhikode MP, for making the DCC a puppet. Mr. Kumar was suspended from the primary membership for criticising the leadership during a news channel debate on Saturday night, as he said that the reshuffle would turn out to be a ‘Waterloo’ for the Congress. Mr. Anil Kumar claimed that it was Mr. Raghavan who picked a majority of the candidates for the recent elections to the Kozhikode Corporation. “Most of them failed miserably. In many places, rebel candidates too were there,” he said. Mr. Anil Kumar alleged that Mr. Raghavan is determined as if nobody other than him should get parliamentary posts. “Nobody in the DCC questions the MP’s diktat. Raghavan is one of the factors for the Congress’ debacle in Kozhikode district,” he alleged.
