All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary K.C. Venugopal on Friday refused to be drawn into the controversy over the latest differences within the Congress in Keralam, aired openly by United Democratic Front (UDF) convener Adoor Prakash on Thursday.
Responding to media queries at Adoor, Mr. Venugopal said that organisational matters and differences of opinion between leaders should be discussed and resolved within the party rather than in public.
His remarks came amid intense media speculation about the internal crisis brewing within the ruling UDF, with Mr. Prakash choosing to openly criticise Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan’s manner of functioning and his unilateral decision-making on various counts without consulting within the UDF or Congress leaders.
Mr. Venugopal also took exception to the manner in which “some quarters” eagerly chose to link him personally with every political controversy and personal views expressed by Congress leaders.
