Overview

• The KPCC removed Rahul Mamkootathil from the party’s primary membership days after he quit as Kerala Youth Congress chief.
• Senior leaders said the party acted on information it gathered about alleged misconduct, and he has been kept out of the Congress legislative grouping.
• CPI(M) and BJP protests escalated with demands that he resign as MLA, including a stud bull demonstration outside V. D. Satheesan’s residence.
• Satheesan called the party’s action a closed chapter and warned of imminent revelations targeting CPI(M) and BJP figures, a claim both parties publicly dismissed.
• Accusations from multiple women, including actor Rini Ann George, and a transgender complainant drew media focus; Mamkootathil denies wrongdoing and questions a circulated audio clip’s authenticity.
