Kerala’s new Opposition Leader V. D. Satheesan said on Saturday that the Congress and the United Democratic Front (UDF) will have a new face in tune with the expectations of the people. “A generational shift is a natural phenomenon in any political party. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) had implemented such a change. The Congress party had witnessed generational changes earlier too,” pointed out the 56-year-old leader and five-time MLA from the North Paravur Assembly constituency in Ernakulam, who replaced Ramesh Chennithala to be the new leader of the Congress Legislative party in the State. Admitting that 'groupism' in the State unit of the Congress was a reality, Mr. Satheesan said that the effort now will be to rise above group politics and build a new and strong second line of leadership in the party. “Merit will be the criteria instead of group affiliation and the party leadership will ensure it from now onwards,” he said.More Related News
