New DCC President likely for Thiruvananthapuram
The appointment of Mohan Kumar as a member of NHRC is yet to be finalised
Thiruvananthapuram: PCC president V. M. Sudheeran’s Janapaksha Yatra finale on December 9 will set off the KPCC revamp. Thiruvananthapuram DCC president K. Mohan Kumar is likely to become the State Human Rights Commission member soon. KPCC vice-president N. Peethambara Kurup and treasurer Karakulam Krishna Pillai are among the probables for the DCC president’s post.
According to Congress sources, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala are keen to give Mr Mohan Kumar a suitable placement as he has been the DCC chief for two consecutive terms.
Mr Mohan Kumar, 58, had replaced Mr Peethambara Kurup in 2005 when he joined K. Karunakaran’s Democratic Indira Congress.
Mr Chennithala told DC that only the TVM DCC president post would see a new face. “The appointment of Mohan Kumar as a member of NHRC is yet to be finalised. We are keen to see that he gets the key post,” he said.
