Infighting overshadows revamped Kerala Congress

Meeting arrives at a consensus on conducting organisational elections

Efforts by the Kerala Congress led by P.J. Joseph to realign with all major forces within the regional party’s platform appears to have suffered a major setback with reports of a major infighting emerging along factional lines. According to party sources, the immediate context of the latest round of infighting is a reorganisation of the party held soon after the recent Assembly elections. The process, according to them, have disrupted the hierarchical order while the jumbo committees, formed apparently to accommodate senior leaders, have rendered it an unwieldy character.
