As the Lok Sabha election draws near, discontent within the Kerala Congress (KC) seems to have reached a critical point for the regional party.
Already shaken by the resignation of key leaders, including its former Kottayam district president, the party faced another setback on Saturday as senior leader Arackal Balakrishna Pillai announced his departure. Mr. Pillai, a member of the KC High Power committee and president of the KC Kollam district unit, is expected to align with the faction led by Jose K. Mani.
Announcing his resignation, he criticised the party, led by P.J. Joseph, for prioritising the interests of a select few individuals. “This party lacks a clear Constitution or any political programme,” he asserted.
