Hello
Suggesting an overall change in the party, Chennithala said the number of office-bearers at each level should be fixed in the party constitution.
The party high command's intervention has added pace to the efforts to clear the deadlock over restructuring, and to hold organisational elections according to the party calendar.
Muraleedharan has been, so far, standing by the new leadership of K Sudhakaran and V D Satheesan, who are the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president and Opposition Leader, respectively.
As it stands, the Lok Ayukta or an Upa-Lok Ayukta's orders, arrived at after investigation into complaints, are binding on the government.
Chennithala alleged that the government’s fear that action might come against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and R Bindu has prompted it to take the decision to weaken the powers of Lokayukta.
Chennithala claimed this was the root cause of the tussle between Governor Arif Mohammed Khan and the state government.
Arif Mohammed Khan had said the other day that he will not be chancellor of state universities from January 8.
Noting that the minister had no moral right to continue in the office as she violated the constitutional norms and the oath of office, Congress wanted her to resign at the earliest.
All committees from DCC and below would drive the membership campaign, ending on March 31.
K Radhakrishnan was responding to a query from former Leader of the Opposition, Ramesh Chennithala.
