Kerala MLA Rahul Mamkootathil stepped down from his party position in the Congress following allegations made by an actor. Mamkootathil, who represents the Adoor constituency, announced his resignation citing the controversy and said he did not want the issue to affect the party’s image.
The actor had accused him of inappropriate behavior, which quickly gained attention across social and political circles in the state. Responding to the claims, Mamkootathil denied any wrongdoing and described the actor as a good friend, insisting that their association was being misinterpreted.
Party sources said the Congress leadership has taken note of his resignation, though no official statement has been released yet on whether it will be accepted. The development has sparked debate within Kerala’s political space, with rival parties also reacting sharply to the incident.
Observers believe this controversy could have implications for the Congress in the state, particularly as it comes at a time when the party is preparing to strengthen its organizational base ahead of upcoming elections.
