Leader K. Karunakaran has been nominated as Congress Working Committee (CWC) permanent invitee by Congress President Sonia Gandhi.  

Congress Central Leadership expects veteran leader's induction in CWC will boost party circle in Kerala. Central defense minister AK Antony is the only other CWC member from Kerala. Central minister Vayalar Ravi and PJ. Kurian has been assigned as Coordinators. 

Karunakaran’s re-entry in Congress top forum after a long period of four years has made his supporters excited. There were reports Karunakaran would be entitled high post in the party since he rejoined in Indian National Congress. 

Karunakaran had formed Democratic Congress Indira in 2005 challenging the party central leadership. At last he reconsidered his earlier decision and expressed his longing to merge his party with the mother front. As many as loyal supporters welcomed the decision of the leader. 

Congress general secretary Mohsina Kiduay took the initiatives to open the door for Karunakaran’s second coming. There was an official announcement in December 2007 of Karunakaran’s return. There were scuffles in the party lead by his son and former Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee President K. Muraleedharan, who had refused his father’s suggestion to rejoin Congress. Father and Son separated. Karunakaran rejoined in Congress party with a great majority of supporters. 

Now leader has come back to old foam. General elections are not far away. As the major opposition party in Kerala, Congress has a vital role to engage in active politics. Price rise, forest land acquisition, labor issues in agriculture sector, and land mafia are some of the vital issues of the moment in the state politics, along with political murders.  

With Karunakaran’s coming, party believes, new tactics and new protests will be realized to boost party profiles.
