The battle of succession within the Kerala Congress (M) has reached new heights with initial calls of dissent growing to an all out raucous between the two major factions.
Talking to the media persons on Thursday, KC(M) acting chairman P.J. Joseph sought to shut down all rumours about convening the party State committee any time soon and held that the next party chairman would be selected only through consensus at different levels.
‘‘It has nothing to do with proving majority in the State committee as the party constitution clearly states that a decision should be made only through consensus. Those who stand against it do not want the Kerala Congress (M) to stay united,’’ he said.
