  • What PC Chacko’s resignation tells us about democracy in Congress?

    Image Source : PTI What PC Chacko’s resignation tells us about democracy in Congress?
    What a coincidence it’s! Last week, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi spoke his thoughts about his one-time shut aide Jyotiraditya Scindia quitting the social gathering and turning into a ‘backbencher’ within the BJP. He was addressing the Youth Wing of the Congress in Delhi. Rahul mentioned that Scindia would have grow to be a Chief Minister if he had stayed with the Congress. The assertion, nonetheless, did not impress Scindia, who snapped again saying it could have been a distinct story if Rahul had been involved the identical approach when he was with the social gathering.
    It appears even PC Chacko was not very impressed with Rahul Gandhi’s assertion on the importance of sticking to the grand previous social gathering. The Congress veteran from Kerala, and a vital determine in Lutyens’ Delhi, not solely known as it quits simply days forward of the meeting elections, but additionally questioned the existence of democracy within the social gathering.
    Once a die-hard Gandhi household loyalist, PC Chacko complained of factionalism within the Kerala unit of the Congress and accused the social gathering high-command of being a mute spectator to the state of affairs.
    Essentially, the arguments made by PC Chacko run counter to what Congress de-facto boss Rahul Gandhi claimed a number of days in the past. Both of them cannot be true. In the nationwide government assembly of workplace bearers of the Indian Youth Congress, Rahul Gandhi regretted having focussed on younger faces within the social gathering and promised to reward those that keep dedicated to the Congress ideology. But maybe his message was not well-conveyed to the previous guard who determined to give up out of frustration with the social gathering management.
    Onus on Rahul Gandhi to place the home so as earlier than polls in Kerala
    The timing of PC Chacko’s resignation cannot be ignored. He has categorically mentioned that he’s not going to hitch the BJP, however his penchant for the left ideology shouldn’t be hidden from anybody. And based on Opinion ballot surveys, the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) is about to return to energy in Kerala using on the recognition of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. 

    So far the Congress had believed that the social gathering would take turns to rule the state in 2021, as Kerala has a historical past of alternating governments each 5 years. But after the debacle within the native physique elections in December 2020, the Congress management has gone right into a tizzy. So a lot so, that the social gathering is cautious of asserting its chief ministerial candidate within the state, preserving its choices open to lure totally different communities and keep away from any backlash.
    Announcing his departure, PC Chacko mentioned that the Congress is split into two teams in Kerala, headed by former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and state Congress chief Ramesh Chennithala, however the social gathering has chosen to look the opposite approach. 
    Rahul Gandhi cannot shift the blame on anybody else if Congress receives a humiliating defeat in Kerala. He is a member of parliament from the state and the Congress cadres look as much as him to win the hearts of the folks. He appears to be campaigning onerous, however that’s not sufficient, Rahul Gandhi wants to finish the factionalism first to strengthen the social gathering and maintain hope alive.
    In the present situation, if ‘insurgent’ PC Chacko jumps on the left bandwagon, life can grow to be tougher for the Congress leaders in Kerala.

    Despite these setbacks, the KPCC management expressed the hope that the talks, persevering with since Monday night, with the AICC’s candidate screening committee could possibly be accomplished by Thursday and move on the beneficial nominee listing to the central election committee headed by Congress president Sonia Gandhi. 

    The AICC management is learnt to have requested Ramesh Chennithala and Oommen Chandy whether or not they would take up the problem to contest from tough seats like Nemom, Vattiyoorkavu or  Kazhakoottam. 

    I can wrest Vattiyoorkavu from LDF, says Murali

    Following Chacko’s criticism towards rampant factionalism, the AICC management is just not prone to entertain the group leaders’ nominees at any value. Already, the chances are towards the candidature of Chandy nominee Ok C Joseph and Chennithala loyalist Joseph Vazhakkan.

    Muraleedharan instructed TNIE that he by no means received an invite from the KPCC management to the assembly.

    “One of their staff members informed my staff on Tuesday about the breakfast meeting. If they really wanted me to attend it, they would have called me directly. When AICC organising general secretary K C Venugopal bumped into me in Parliament, he invited me to meet them, including the screening committee chairman, at 5pm,” he stated.

    He denied TV channel experiences that he had evinced eager curiosity in contesting from Nemom meeting constituency.

    He confided that if the AICC management actually desires him to return to state politics, he’ll struggle in Vattiyoorkavu.

    “I can wrest the seat back. But convincing my voters of Vadakara is going to be a hard task. If a candidate like Mullappally contests from Vadakara, the voters will help the Congress yet again,” he added.

  • ‘Top leaders practising groupism’: PC Chacko proclaims resignation from Congress

    THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In a dramatic transfer, senior Congress chief P C Chacko has resigned from the social gathering, citing neglect, factionalism and lack of management. Announcing his resignation at New Delhi, he lashed out at social gathering leaders in Kerala and likewise on the AICC management.

    Chacko’s resignation from the social gathering comes at a time when the AICC appointed Screening Committee has been holding marathon stage talks since Monday night on the Congress candidates for the Assembly elections.

I have been continuously arguing with the Congress high command about the rampant factionalism which has affected the party. But they didn’t heed my request and did not do anything to end the factionalism. It is impossible to work in the state Congress without showing any group leanings. V M Sudheeran was also forced out from the party due to factionalism,” mentioned a peeved Chacko.

    Ever since 74-year-old Chacko misplaced the Chalakudy Lok Sabha seat within the 2014 normal elections after swapping the Thrissur seat with Ok P Dhanapalan, he had turn into ‘undesirable’ amongst Congress leaders from the state.

The AICC management was eager to exit of the field to return the favour, following his function as chairman of the Joint Parliamentary Committee on the two G Spectrum probe which gave the Congress a clear chit.

    Even when Chacko used to attend the KPCC’s excessive energy 21-member Political Affairs Committee assembly at Indira Bhavan, he was extremely crucial of the social gathering management within the state. An articulate chief, Chacko by no means used to mince his phrases when he needed to convey his displeasure in opposition to his detractors within the social gathering.

    “No one has seen the probable candidate list submitted before the Screening Committee. I haven’t decided on what lies ahead for me. The people are keen to see the Congress coming back to power, but groupism has been a stumbling block,” added Chacko.

    It needs to be recalled that Chacko had not been a celebration to the signature marketing campaign in opposition to the AICC management by the G 23 leaders. Unleashing a tirade in opposition to the AICC management, Chacko maintained that it was unlucky that even one-and-a-half years after the Lok Sabha ballot debacle, the social gathering is but to discover a appropriate chief.

    In a veiled assault in opposition to Rahul Gandhi, Chacko additionally cited the central management’s failure in tackling the BJP’s strides within the nation. He needed to stop the function of AICC in-charge of Delhi following the ballot debacle the Congress acquired by the hands of the Aam Aadmi Party. Now all eyes are on Chacko’s subsequent transfer.
