Tharoor to continue as digital media cell chairman, resignation announced due to lack of time, says Mullappally

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The news that Shashi Tharoor MP is resigning the post of digital media cell chairman of the KPCC is totally baseless, said cell convenor Anil Antony. Meantime, KPCC chief Mullappally Ramachandran said Tharoor had announced his resignation. He announced his resignation due to lack of time and for the time being he will continue in the post, Mullappally said.

However, reports said Tharoor announced his resignation at the meet of state core committee members and coordinators. He had mentioned that he will inform about his resignation in the letter to KPCC chief.

Tharoor was in charge of the cell. A K Antony’s son Anil Antony was appointed convenor. Meantime, Anil was not found active after the Lok Sabha polls, alleged Tharoor. Many congress leaders harshly criticised Tharoor for heaping praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and sought an explanation from him.
