Thiruvananthapuram: The planned gang up against KPCC president V. M. Sudheeran at the Delhi conclave did not materialise with Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi putting his weight behind Mr. Sudheeran on Thursday.
The conclave was a tame affair after Mr. Gandhi said that groupism would not be tolerated. There cannot be an organisational election in Kerala alone. This would deprive the detractors of Mr. Sudheeran of any chance to remove him from the post of KPCC president.
