THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Preparing for a possible break with the Congress, senior party leader K. Karunakaran on Friday said he had decided to give up his Rajya Sabha seat. ``I have taken the decision. Only the procedures have to be followed,'' Mr. Karunakaran told television channels ahead of his faction's crucial convention to be held in Thrissur on May 1. ``I am very much for resigning. I don't like to divulge anything, except the Rajya Sabha resignation,'' the octogenarian leader who has, of late, been on a collision course with the party high command said. ``I think it is proper on my part to resign when it becomes difficult to continue in the post [to which I was] elected as the party nominee.'' Evading a direct reply to a question whether he would put in his papers before the May 1 convention, Mr. Karunakaran said: ``I have made up my mind to resign and the question whether it is to be done at the convention or after is just a matter of procedure.'' Mr. Karunakaran was elected to the Rajya Sabha in April 2004. - PTI
