Rahul steps in to defuse KPCC row

IN an unprecedented move amid the ongoing imbroglio over the selection of new Kerala Pradesh Congress chief, Rahul Gandhi has intervened in state Congress domain, seeking the opinion of senior leaders and former state presidents.

Rahul's intervention comes at a time when the high command's effort to replace K Sudhakaran has hit a stumbling block. Rahul chose to intervene in the issue after the state president openly violated the high command's diktat on making public statements.
