KOCHI: Senior CPM leader G Sudhakaran wrote a letter to the party leadership requesting to drop him from the CPM state committee. It is learnt that he wrote letter to the party secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan and the chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan stating that he did not want to continue in the state committee and requested not to consider his name for the new committee which will be appointed at the state conference being held in Ernakulam.
The letter was sent amid the speculations that Sudhakaran, who is 75, would get a concession as the party has decided to exclude those leaders aged above 75 from the state committee. The letter stated that he was not interested in continuing as a state committee member. However, sources said that the party leadership is not ready to consider his request.
