Elangovan quits as Tamil Nadu Congress committee chief

June 25, 2016 11:23

Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president E V K S Elangovan has quit from his position claiming responsibility for loss in recently concluded assembly elections.

While speculation was rife that this could have been a pre-emptive move since the high command was already mulling a change in TNCC leadership, sources close to Elangovan contended it was voluntary.

Sources within the party claimed the main charge against Elangovan was the unsatisfactory performance of the party in the recent assembly polls, when it won just eight of the 41 seats it contested as part of the DMK alliance.
