Amid internal rift, Chacko resigns as NCP state prez
The New Indian Express Kochi
|February 13, 2025
IN WHAT could be termed as an anti-climax of sorts, P C Chacko finally quit as NCP state president.
Chacko was forced to step down following stiff internal opposition, which was set off by the factional feud over the party's cabinet berth. There are indications that Chacko decided to quit after the two factions, led by A K Saseendran and Thomas K Thomas, settled their differences and united against him.
The veteran leader, however, will continue as the party's national working president. Chacko sent his resignation to party national chief Sharad Pawar. It's learnt that the national leadership hasn't as yet accepted the resignation. Speculation is rife that Kuttanad MLA Thomas K Thomas could succeed Chacko as state chief, an arrangement the Saseendran faction is in favour of.
The NCP has for some time been rocked by an open tussle between two party MLAs—forest minister Saseendran and Thomas—over the cabinet berth.

AWESOME TWOSOME IN FEARLESS FILMMAKING
PARNA Sen’s 36 Chowringhee Lane (1981) was a landmark in my formative years as a film buff. I am not sure where I watched it. But what has stayed with me till date are Jennifer Kendal’s eloquent presence as the quiet and secluded Anglo-Indian teacher Violet Stoneham, and Ashok Mehta’s camera that captures the many shades of loss and solitude that imbue the film, and the textures of a fading world it is set in. It was about underscoring the tenuousness of a community as well as the vulnerability of an individual.
