A section alleges Congress leadership failed to address sentiments of ordinary leaders, workers
The resonance in the state Congress after the reorganisation has now turned into a growing resentment against the party high command. Though the national and state leaderships claimed that the new appointments were made after due consideration, a section of leaders allege that the high command failed to address the sentiments of ordinary leaders and workers. A majority of senior leaders also share these sentiments.
The high command had given KPCC president and two working president posts to three MLAs, while one working president and UDF convenor posts went to two MPs.
"There are thousands of ordinary leaders who have been working tirelessly for the party for years," a veteran Congress leader told TNIE.
