Wayanad Congress in turmoil: DCC president resigns amid suicide row, factionalism

Trouble is brewing in the Wayanad Congress unit, with the District Congress Committee President resigning from his position. The resignation comes amidst reported internal group conflicts and follows the death by suicide of the party's former district treasurer and his son last year. The former treasurer left a note claiming he was taking the step because "the money he had taken for party's needs based on the direction of party leaders created a huge burden on him." Following the incident, a case was registered against a Congress MLA and the president who has now resigned. The party has also faced criticism for not yet securing land to build 100 promised houses for survivors of the Wayanad landslide, a development that has reportedly upset the local Member of Parliament.
