Kochi, Jun 24 (PTI) A day after he was arrested in a cheating case by the Crime Branch wing of Kerala Police, K Sudhakaran on Saturday offered to quit as KPCC chief if necessary even as the Congress leadership rejected the suggestion saying it would extend him all political and legal support to fight the case.
The Kannur strongman of the party was arrested by the Crime Branch in a cheating case in which the prime accused is controversial antique dealer Monson Mavunkal, and later released on bail here on Friday night.
Sudhakaran expressed his willingness to step down when reporters asked about it here today morning. “I am ready to stay away if necessary. I will not stand for anything that will harm the party,” he said.
