Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala tread a fine line on Monday to express his chagrin at not being included in the Congress Working Committee.
At a press conference here, Mr. Chennithala, widely reckoned as the Leader of the I-group, which has considerable organisational heft, said the AICC had bestowed on him, a post – permanent invitee – that he held previously in 2004.
Pointing out that persons relatively junior to him made it to the CWC, Mr. Chennithala said he was not questioning their merit. CWC members K.C. Venugopal, Shashi Tharoor and Kodikunnil Suresh merited their posts.
