Kochi: Hours after Congress announcing V D Satheesan as Kerala Chief Minister, there are reports suggesting disgruntled leader Ramesh Chennithala planning a meeting of his followers on Friday.
Chennithala sulked after he missed the chance to become Chief Minister. He went innuendo and surfaced at Sree Krishna Temple Guruvayur in Thrissur.
There is intense pressure from his supporters to quit the party in the wake of being ignored for the Chief Minister post despite his seniority.
His supporters feel Chennithala wss humiliated when he was replaced by V D Satheesan as the Leader of Opposition when the Congress-led UDF lost election for the second consecutive time in 2021.
The situation becomes explosive as many senior leaders have been ignored while nominating new Ministers.
Chennithala group may meet soon
