KPCC to seek reconciliation in Keralam MLA Ramya Haridas fracas row, warns workers against public feuds
The Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee is seeking reconciliation following a public altercation involving MLA Remya Haridas. The party leadership has warned workers against public feuds to protect the organization's reputation.
Why it matters
Internal party discipline and public image management are critical for the Congress party as it navigates political competition and governance challenges in Kerala.
Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president Sunny Joseph on Friday signalled that the party would spare the rod and strike a middle ground in the late-night fracas involving Congress legislator Remya Haridas and two other party workers at a house in Chirayinkeezhu last week.
Mr Joseph told reporters in Kochi that he had received the report of the inquiry commission constituted to investigate the scuffle, which went viral and caused significant reputational damage to the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) government. “Congress workers should conduct themselves thoughtfully. Reconciliation is the KPCC’s watchword. The party will solve all outstanding differences amicably,” he said.
Former KPCC president M.M. Hassan, who headed the commission, was not immediately available for comment.
