VD Satheesan News | Meet VD Satheesan: The Man Who Ended Left Rule In Kerala

The Kerala impasse was finally sorted today, with the Congress backing "people's choice" VD Satheesan. KC Venugopal, the choice of Rahul Gandhi and a majority of MLAs from the state, had to take a backseat. Sources said Rahul Gandhi had to make considerable effort to bring this about. He was the one who had been supporting Venugopal for the top post. Sources said Gandhi now intends to retain Venugopal in Delhi as the General Secretary (Organisation). It has also been suggested that given the manner in which Venugopal has earned Rahul Gandhi's trust, he could potentially be elevated to the post of Congress president in the future.
