Opposition Leader V. D. Satheeshan called on Congress veteran Oomen Chandy at his house at Puthupallly in Kottayam on Sunday to ease the strain in inner-party relations caused by the contentious appointment of District Congress Committee (DCC) presidents. The visit came a day after Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the Congress was disintegrating, and the rank and file of the party had lost faith in the faction-riven leadership. Mr. Satheeshan told journalists there were some issues in the Congress in Kerala. Such disputes were common in political parties, and Congress was no exception. "You cannot close your eyes to problems and say the world is dark," he said.More Related News
