Anti-Karunakaran factions hold meeting

By Our Staff Reporter

THRISSUR, MARCH 29. The anti-Karunakaran factions today held a meeting here as part of the preparations for the regional rally announced by the KPCC.

Inaugurating the meeting, the KPCC vice-president, A.C. Jose, said the rallies announced by the KPCC were not meant to be against anybody, but was meant to motivate the Congress workers to unite against the divisive tendencies that were destroying the party.

"The Congress workers have become frustrated with the attempts to destroy the party from within and that is why they have started opening up against such tendencies," he said.

Recalling that the people had given the Congress a comfortable majority in the last Assembly elections and good support in the local body elections prior to that, Mr. Jose said there had been substantial erosion in those gains because of the factional feud in the party in the last couple of years.

The DCC president, M.P. Bhaskaran Nair, presided. The former minister, K.P. Viswanathan, MLA; the KPCC treasurer, C.N. Balakrishnan; the DCC vice-president, O.Abdul Rahiman Kutty, and the secretary, P.A. Madhavan, were among those who spoke on the occasion.
