THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: M.M. Hassan will continue as KPCC president. In a press release issued by AICC in New Delhi, it states that all the PCC presidents and DCC presidents will continue in their posts after the organisational election also unless some decision in taken to replace them.
Just when several senior Congress leaders in the state were lobbying to become the party president, Mr Hassan has got a life yet again.
Initially, Mr Hassan was given only the charge of PCC president when V.M. Sudheeran had stepped down citing health issues. Later, the AICC gave him the post of PCC chief. On Saturday, AICC general secretary Janardhan Dwivedi had come out with a one liner statement that “the Congress president Rahul Gandhi has taken a decision that the presidents of all PCC’s, regional Congress Committees and Territorial Congress Committees will continue in their posts after the organisational election also unless some decision is taken to replace them”.
Mr Hassan told DC that he heard from the AICC headquarters while he was attending the INTUC national working committee meeting held at Kochi. He expressed happiness over the party’s decision to allow all the PCC presidents to continue.
“I have been sincerely executing the duties bestowed on me as KPCC president. My objective is to steer the party towards victory in the imminent Lok Sabha elections and now with this decision, I am getting a newfound vigour,” said Mr Hassan.
