Congress sources told TNIE that the complaints received by KPCC against Rahul has risen to 19.

This is in sharp contrast to the claims made by KPCC leadership that they have not received any complaints through email, phone or in writing.

"There is also a growing criticism in the Congress and Youth Congress that since Rahul's mentors are in the key positions there are fewer chances that the complaints would reach the KPCC president," a senior leader said.

The AICC has reportedly asked the state unit to settle the issue before it goes out of control.

AICC general secretary Deepa Dasmunsi told reporters that the chapter is closed with the resignation of Rahul from the post of YC state president post.
