Congress Veteran VM Sudheeran Seeks High Command's Intervention In Party's Kerala Unit

VM Sudheeran raised the issue when Tariq Anwar, AICC general secretary (in-charge of Kerala), met Mr Sudheeran at his residence here to placate the protesting party veteran.

Senior Congress leader VM Sudheeran, who has resigned from the AICC and KPCC political affairs committee over his differences with the state unit of the party, on Monday complained to the central leaders about the "wrong style of functioning" of the new state leadership and sought the high commands intervention.

He raised the issue when Tariq Anwar, AICC general secretary (in-charge of Kerala), met Mr Sudheeran at his residence here to placate the protesting party veteran.

Talking to reporters after his meeting with Mr Anwar, Mr Sudheeran said he stuck to his resignations and urged the AICC leadership to address the concerns he had raised with them on the organisational matters in the state.

"The new leadership took charge in the state with great hopes. But things didn't go well as expected. The wrong working style of the leadership and other issues...I hope the AICC will take a correctional step to rectify the mistakes made by the state leadership and I have requested the same. I do not intend to change my stance at all. I have resigned from both the posts," Mr Sudheeran said.
