Even as Rahul Mamkootathil stepped down as Youth Congress state president, the CPM and the BJP have mounted attacks on the Congress for protecting the young MLA.
EVEN as Rahul Mamkootathil stepped down as Youth Congress state president, the CPM and the BJP have mounted attacks on the Congress for protecting the young MLA. While demands have come from various corners for Rahul's resignation as Palakkad MLA, the Yuva Morcha took out a protest march to Cantonment House, the official residence of Opposition Leader V D Satheesan.
The Congress leadership cannot evade responsibility with respect to the sexual harassment allegations against Rahul, said CPM state secretary M V Govindan. The CPM leader said the Congress should respond to the allegations. Notably, the CPM didn't demand Rahul's resignation from the post of MLA. "It's for the Congress leadership to decide whether the person facing such grave allegations needs to quit just the post of Youth Congress chief," said Govindan.
