New Delhi, March 19: Congress is facing a significant setback just before the Kerala Assembly elections. Senior leader and Kannur MP K. Sudhakaran is reportedly contemplating leaving the party. His frustration stems from the lack of response from party leadership regarding his repeated requests for a ticket for the upcoming elections.
At 77, Sudhakaran has previously served as the President of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee and is a member of the Congress Working Committee. Sources indicate that discussions about his political future continued late into the night, but no resolution was reached.
Sudhakaran is scheduled to address the media in Delhi on Thursday, where he may formally announce his next steps. In the meantime, he has already begun saying goodbye to several senior leaders, signaling that a departure from the party may be imminent.
Reports suggest that he is preparing to pursue an independent political path and is even considering forming a new party. Additionally, he has the option to contest the elections as an independent candidate from the Kannur Assembly seat.
Sudhakaran is regarded as one of the most prominent leaders of Congress in Kerala, with a strong influence in Kannur politics. Known for his aggressive stance, he has been a vocal critic of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the CPI(M).
His political career spans several decades, during which he has served as an MLA four times. He won the Lok Sabha elections from Kannur in 2009 but faced defeat in 2014. However, he made a comeback in 2019 and retained his seat in 2024.
Sudhakaran’s potential resignation is seen as a significant blow to Congress, particularly in sensitive areas like Kannur.
