KPCC Prez should decide on suitable date for PAC:Chandy

A sulking Oommen Chandy who is keeping away from party meetings reportedly unhappy over the selection of new DCC Presidents, today broke his silence and said it was up to KPCC President V M Sudheeran, to convene a meeting of the Political Affairs Committee and he would attend, if it was convenient.
"KPCC President should convene the PAC meeting and if it is convenient, I will attend," Chandy told reporters.
When it was pointed out that Sudheeran, who is the chairman of the PAC, had earlier stated that Chandy should decide on a suitable date, the senior leader retorted that he did not agree with that view.

Chandy has not been attending any of the functions in which newly appointed DCC presidents have taken charge.Even in his home constituency in Kottayam, Chandy has kept away from such functions while his confidants, former ministers, Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan and K C Joseph had participated.
Chandy had also abstained from attending the agitation organised by the Congress-led UDF in Delhi recently on demonetisation, even as party leaders said his absence was due to some personal inconvenience.
The Congress leader also stated that he had no complaints about the appointment of new DCC presidents. Chandy had also met CWC member A K Antony, and reportedly informed him about his discontent.

Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala has already indicated that there was differences in the party in Kerala over appointment of new DCC Presidents and he too was also unhappy. "Myself, former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy have differences over the reorganisation of DCC and KPCC President V M Sudheeran also might have disagreement," Chennithala had said here.
