Thiruvananthapuram, Aug 24 (SocialNews.XYZ) In a major escalation of the crisis within the Kerala unit of Congress, senior leader Ramesh Chennithala has come out strongly against Palakkad MLA Rahul Mamkootathil, demanding his immediate resignation. This follows Opposition leader V.D. Satheesan’s earlier call for Rahul to step down, intensifying the pressure on the embattled legislator.
