KANNUR: Even as the KPCC leadership is contemplating  disciplinary action against him, Congress leader P Ramakrishnan sent his resignation as president of the Kannur District Congress Committee to KPCC president on Saturday.Ramakrishnan confirmed this while talking to the Express on Saturday stating that the “letter of resignation was sent by fax to Ramesh Chennithala. A copy of the resignation letter was also sent to Oommen Chandy.” Ramakrishnan said that he had cited no reason for his action in the letter, although he had affirmed that he would continue as sincere worker of the Congress. It was a continuing row with K Sudhakaran MP and a controversial news conference during which he stated that it was Sudhakaran who had persuaded CMP leader and former co-operation minister M V Raghavan to visit Koothuparamba, where five DYFI workers were killed in police firing, that culminated in Ramakrishnan’s resignation. The disclosure made by Ramakrishnan at the news conference virtually placed the UDF leadership in the dock.Ramakrishnan turned totally defenceless as his supporters deserted him after his controversial statement on Koothuparamba firing which angered the KPCC leadership. The CMP led by M V Raghavan too came down heavily on the comments made by Ramakrishnan. His embarrassing disclosure turned out to be another weapon for the CPM against the UDF. The CPM has already demanded a fresh probe into the Koothuparmba firing case. K Sudhakaran MP, who was away in Delhi, wasn’t available for comments on the latest developments in his party. Meanwhile, political circles point out that the exit of Ramakrishnan brings only a temporary truce to the factional feud in the Congress party. The silent supporters of Ramakrishnan are likely to regain strength and strike at the rival group any time, going by the indications available now.
