‘Growing lawlessness’: Rahul Gandhi, Kejriwal on Manipur musician’s killing in Delhi

‘Growing lawlessness’: Rahul Gandhi, Kejriwal on Manipur musician’s killing in Delhi

On Monday, Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan met privately with Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi, sparking speculation about the upcoming leadership of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC). The Congress has yet to choose a successor to Electricity Minister Sunny Joseph, who has expressed a desire to step down from the role.

The meeting reportedly focused on "key party matters and governance priorities." The Chief Minister's Office confirmed the encounter but declined to disclose its contents. Potential candidates for the KPCC presidency include Kodikunnil Suresh, Benny Behanan, Shafi Parambil, and Mathew Kuzhalnadan, among others. Suresh, a seasoned Congress leader, has repeatedly emphasized that holding public office or other positions does not preclude one from serving as PCC president.

The Congress high command is anticipated to make its decision in coordination with the State Congress leadership.
