Congress change of guard a smooth affair in Ernakulam in Kerala

Muhammad Shiyas, a close confidant of Opposition Leader V.D. Satheesan, is new DCC chief
The change of guard in the Ernakulam district unit of the Congress appears to be a peaceful affair even as it has triggered serious organisational issues elsewhere in Kerala. Muhammad Shiyas, a close confidant of Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan, was declared president of the Ernakulam District Congress Committee (DCC) the other day. Mr. Satheesan’s choice mattered much in the selection of the DCC president in his home district, and thus Mr. Shiyas rode over others, including contestants from ‘I’ and ‘A’ groups. The names of ‘I’ faction nominees I.K. Raju and B.A. Muthalib were doing the rounds earlier.More Related News
