Thiruvananthapuram | Senior Congress leader M M Hassan on Saturday said there was widespread dissatisfaction among party leaders and workers over the delay in appointing chairpersons to various boards and corporations in Keralam.

Speaking to reporters, Hassan said the issue was raised at the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) online meeting held on Friday night.

He said the KPCC president had assured party leaders that a decision would be taken at the earliest.

When asked whether A group leaders have raised any concerns, Hassan said: "Everyone in the Congress, including leaders and workers, is unhappy over the delay in the board and corporation appointments. Why are you specifically asking about the A group? There is widespread dissatisfaction over the delay." Asked whether the delay could lead to further problems if not resolved, Hassan said the matter should be settled immediately.

When asked whether there is dissatisfaction in the Congress party over the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) gaining prominence, Hassan said he has no such concern personally.

He said IUML is the second-largest constituent in the coalition and is given adequate prominence when appointing chairpersons of boards and corporations.

Asked about differences of opinion within the government, Hassan said the question should be directed to the Chief Minister.
