Four Congress leaders in poll-bound Kerala’s Wayanad resign

The Congress has found itself in choppy waters in poll-bound Kerala after four prominent party leaders tendered their resignation in Wayanad district, the Lok Sabha constituency of Rahul Gandhi.

Former Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee member KK Vishwanathan, KPCC secretary MS Vishwanathan, DCC general secretary PK Anil Kumar and Mahila Congress leader Sujaya Venugopal resigned from the party in a week.

MS Vishwanathan said he was resigning from the party due to the failure of the Congress leadership in the district and neglect by the KPCC leadership.

“Due to neglect by the KPCC leadership and the failure of District Congress Committee, I’m resigning as the KPCC secretary post and primary membership from the party,” MS Vishwanathan said.

KK Vishwanathan alleged that the party was being run by a three-member team in Wayanad. PK Anil Kumar formally joined Lok Tantrik Janata Dal (LJD) in the presence of MP MV Sreyamskumar.

The Congress has deployed a battery of senior leaders, including K Sudhakaran, to resolve the crisis. Sudhakaran reached the DCC office in Wayanad on Thursday to take stock of the situation.

Polling in Kerala will take place in a single phase on April 6 and results will be declared on May 2.
