Worst crisis in Congress history: MVR

By Our Special Correspondent

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, MARCH 28. The Cooperation Minister and CMP leader, M.V. Raghavan, today said that the Congress had never passed through as `ridiculous' a situation as now.

A CMP release quoted the Minister as saying that the crisis in the Congress was due to K. Karunakaran's hunger for power and his unrelenting attempts to secure Ministership for his son and a Lok Sabha seat for his daughter.

Ninety per cent of Congressmen in the State bowed their head in shame on account of this, he said.

Mr. Raghavan, however, insisted that this would not result in a rout of the Congress in the Lok Sabha election. Candidates' selection had always touched off crises in the Congress. In the last Assembly election, there was even an instance of a candidate being pulled out and another person being fielded at the last minute. Still, nobody was defeated.

The same would happen this time, he added.

The Minister said the crisis in the CPI(M) was worse than that in the Congress and said that at no time in the past had the CPI(M) become so degenerate.
