Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K. Sudhakaran on May 8 ended a week of speculation that his tenure hung in the balance by reclaiming his office at the Congress party’s State headquarters, Indira Bhavan, in Thiruvananthapuram with much fanfare.
Mr. Sudhakaran’s somewhat high-profile resumption of office came against the backdrop of the conjecture that the All India Congress Committee (AICC) had linked his continuation in office to the party’s faring at the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and wanted KPCC acting president M.M. Hassan to hold charge at least till mid-June.
Mr. Sudhakaran’s return to the KPCC headquarters was neither controversy-free nor a muted affair. His loyalists garlanded him outside Indira Bhavan. Mr. Sudhakaran entered the office with much flashiness and addressed the media.
