NEDUMBASSERY: Vayalar Ravi, MP, has urged the former Chief Minister A.K. Antony to throw his weight behind his successor and one of his oldest colleagues, Oommen Chandy. Talking to The Hindu at the Nedumbassery airport, he said that it was for the party workers to evaluate the absence of Mr. Antony from the rallies organised by the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) in Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi. His personal view was that Mr. Antony should have attended the rallies. Mr. Ravi felt sorry for the former Chief Minister K. Karunakaran who, he said, had fallen from a high position in the party to the status of a mere group leader. Mr. Karunakaran should continue as a national leader of Congress. He did not foresee any possibility of Mr. Karunakaran quitting the party or forming a new one, which would be political suicide. He said it was K. Muraleedharan, former Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee President and son of Mr. Karunakaran, who was trying to split the party. In fact, Mr. Muraleedharan's primary concern was forming his own party, he opined. According to Mr. Ravi, it is for the first time in more than a decade that the party high command has displayed the `will and strength' to take stern action to ensure discipline in the Kerala unit of the party. There was a time when Karunakaran had said that he was the high command. But now, it has been proved that real high command is in Delhi.
