Chennai: The Congress yesterday appointed E V K S Elangovan as the chief of its Tamil Nadu unit following the resignation of B S Gnanadesikan.
Meanwhile, former union shipping minister G K Vasan said that he would announce his future course of action on November 3. Incidentally, Gnanadesikan is part of the Vasan camp in the Tamil Nadu Congress.
Not yielding to any pressure tactics from the Vasan camp, the party replaced Gnanadesikan, who resigned on October 30, with Elangovan.
Speculation is rife about Vasan reviving the Tamil Maanila Congress (TMC), a party founded by his late father G K Moopanar after breaking away from Congress in 1996.
The TMC was later merged with Congress in 2002 under the leadership of Vasan.
Another party official Kovai Thangam also belonging to Vasan camp also resigned his party post.
