Most of the Congress leaders in Kerala are showing their dissatisfaction after the party high command put out a list of 14 district Congress Committee presidents. Even though two have been suspended, the outbursts from others continued on Monday also.

The list of the 14 surfaced late Saturday night, and out came the daggers. It was a free for all with everyone washing dirty linen in the public.

So far two top Congress leaders, a two time legislator K.Sivadasan Nair, and senior party leader who is the outgoing organisational general secretary of the Kerala unit -- K.P. Anilkumar have been suspended in a jiffy by State party chief K.Sudhakaran for their outbursts.

Incidentally trouble began in the Kerala unit of the party ever since contrary to what has been the practice, the party high command came down heavy when they decided enough is enough of the way the faction managers -- two time Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and veteran outgoing Leader of Opposition Ramesh Chennithala for the past two decades used to share all the posts between themselves.

Putting an end to their hegemony, the high command stepped in soon after the April 6 Assembly results saw the Congress being defeated by Pinarayi Vijayan for the second time in a row.

Soon after Vijayan took over, the Congress high command stepped in and announced Sudhakaran as the new party president and V.D. Satheesan as the new leader of opposition, making its intentions clear that it will no longer succumb to the arm twisting tactics of the faction managers.
