Congress faces more disputes over DCC presidents’ list

Sudhakaran to present list to Tariq Anwar in New Delhi

The dissensions in the Congress over the selection of District Congress Committee (DCC) presidents threatened to burst out into the open again on Monday. Members of a pro-Congress social media group threatened to challenge the list of nominees proposed by the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) if the leadership failed to give weightage to the choices of Oommen Chandy and Ramesh Chennithala. Meanwhile, the office of Mr. Chennithala distanced itself from the remarks made on the social media group. Sources close to Mr. Chennithala said he had informed the Congress high command that he was in the dark about the DCC president list finalised by the KPCC. However, Mr. Chennithala assured New Delhi that he would abide by the decision of the party’s high command. A party insider said Mr. Chandy had conveyed a similar message to the Congress national leadership.
