Congress leader and former KPCC general secretary KP Anil Kumar, suspended on charges of indiscipline, on Tuesday said that he is resigning from the primary membership of the old party.
He said though he had given his explanation after the party’s action against him last month, the suspension has not been revoked yet.
“I am ending my 43-year-old relationship with the Congress party,” he told reporters in Thiruvananthapuram.
Soon after the leader’s resignation was announced, KPCC chief K Sudhakaran issued a press note saying that Kumar had been expelled from the primary membership of the party.
The Congress in Kerala had “temporarily suspended” Anil Kumar along with former MLA K Sivadasan Nair for publicly expressing displeasure over the AICC’s selection of district chiefs of the party in the state.
