THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The group scuffle in Congress is seeing unprecedented lows. The A, I group, unlike its difference against the KPCC leadership, didn't nominate any common name for the chief spot in the Youth Congress. Mired in the inconvenience of the group infighting, the A, I group failed to find a familiar face to lead the youth congress.

Meanwhile, the K C Venugopal faction is rivaling the other groups to place Binu Chulliyil as the candidate for the top spot. The KC faction also conducted many such meetings in several parts of the state. For a long time, it was A-group members who remained unrivaled at the youth congress top spot. However, this time, with many factions turning up for the fight, the result is far from settled.

A-group will possibly field Rahul Mamkootathil as a candidate after being recommended by MLA Shafi Parambil. According to insiders, Rahul also maintains close rapport with opposition leader V D Satheeshan.

If A-group prefers J S Akhil over Rahul, V D Satheeshan is likely to place Rahul as a candidate bereft of any group. Rahul is also the preferred name among many I-group members.
