On Wednesday, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president K. Sudhakaran ended a week of speculation that his tenure hung in the balance and created riveting political theatre by reclaiming his office at the party’s State headquarters in Indira Bhavan with considerable fanfare.
Mr. Sudhakaran’s return to the KPCC headquarters was neither controversy-free nor muted. For one, KPCC acting president M.M. Hassan and Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan were conspicuous by their absence.
Mr. Sudhakaran later told reporters he had looked forward to the top leadership’s presence. “Mr. Hassan should have been present. Mr. Satheesan is a multifaceted and busy person,” he quipped.
