Congress will function as constructive opposition: Sudheeran

The Congress-led UDF, which was routed in the May 16 Assembly polls in Kerala, would function as a "constructive opposition", KPCC President V M Sudheeran today said.
The CPI(M) led-LDF government, which is to be sworn in on May 25, will be given full support, Sudheeran told reporters here.
"We will follow the opposition dharma," he said.
He said a detailed discussion on the reason for the dismal performance of Congress in the polls would be held without delay.
A meeting would be held on June 4 and 5 to find out the reasons for the UDF defeat, he said.

KPCC met today in the presence of former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala to discuss the poll debacle.
Criticising the "violence unleashed" by the CPI(M) and BJP workers after the poll results, he claimed 142 incidents of violence had been reported from various parts of the state and stern action should be taken against those responsible for it.
