Despite earlier backing K C Venugopal, Sudhakaran affirmed that all party members should accept the high command's choice for unity.

In a recent development within the Indian National Congress, senior leader K Sudhakaran has publicly endorsed the All India Congress Committee's (AICC) decision to appoint V D Satheesan as the Chief Minister of Kerala.

He reiterated that the Congress's primary focus remains on serving public interests, positioning itself as a paradigm of effective governance.
