Senior Congress leader and former Speaker N. Sakthan has assumed temporary charge as the District Congress Committee (DCC) president of Thiruvananthapuram, replacing party veteran Palode Ravi.
Mr. Ravi had resigned from the post on Saturday (July 26, 2025) after he came under fire from within the Congress for supposedly broadcasting a defeatist outlook on Congress’ prospects in the upcoming local body elections and the 2026 Assembly polls.
