THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: KPCC president Mullapally Ramachandran has said that groups have destroyed the party. Mullapally has made the revelation before Sonia Gandhi. “They didn’t allow me to function freely. Despite the high command’s recommendation, I abstained from the election due to the presence of backstabbers,” he said.

He also asked Sonia Gandhi to accept his letter in which he expressed his willingness to resign from the KPCC chief’s post as his resignation letter. He informed her that he is willing to resign and that is why he abstained from the UDF meet. This is the third time Mullapally and Sonia Gandhi are talking via phone after the poll debacle in Kerala. Yesterday he told Kerala Kaumudi online that he had informed the state of affairs in the party to party chief Sonia Gandhi.
