Thrissur: Congress legislature party chief whip T.N. Prathapan, MLA, on Saturday sent a letter to the party’s central leadership requesting to appoint senior leader V.M. Sudheeran as the new KPCC president.
The single-page letter, addressed to AICC president Sonia Gandhi, Vice president Rahul Gandhi and A.K. Antony, states that the demand is being made in view of the upcoming parliament elections. “Only a leader of Sudheeran’s stature would be able to steer the party during turbulent times while his experience would help curb the factionalist tendencies in the party’’, it said.
Sudheeran is known for his pro-people stance on various issues and the people of Kerala are having high regards for him as a non-corrupt politician. The other factors that support his entry to the post are his position as a leader above the groups and his anti-communal stance, it added.
