Mr.Vasan's father and veteran Congress leader G.K.Moopanar.who splitted and started Tamil Manila Congress in 1996 which was later merged with Congress in 2002 after his demise. The rebel leaders say that the Natinal leadership does not seek the advice of local leaders in crucial decisions relating to the state politics and ignores the local sentiments, making the party an unctouchable in the state with over 7 crore population.
