Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala has reiterated his faith in the party’s central leadership and said he remained loyal to the Gandhi-Nehru family all his life.
In an interview with The Hindu early this week, he said the party high command was the last word for him.
“The party has given me everything. Indira Gandhi made me NSUI [National Students’ Union of India] national president. Rajiv Gandhi made me Indian Youth Congress president. P.V. Narasimha Rao made me secretary of the AICC [All India Congress Committee]. Sonia Gandhi made me a special and permanent invitee to the Congress Working Committee (CWC) and the Kerala PCC [Pradesh Congress Committee] president. Rahul Gandhi made me the Opposition Leader...,” Mr. Chennithala recounted.
