All India Congress Committee general secretary KC Venugopal clarified his political stance on Friday, urging observers and media outlets not to link his name with personal statements issued by local Congress figures in Kerala. Speaking in Pathanamthitta, the senior leader addressed recent friction following public criticism by United Democratic Front convenor Adoor Prakash regarding government decision-making processes.

He emphasized that the Congress party maintains established organizational mechanisms designed to resolve internal differences through structured, face-to-face dialogues. Venugopal reaffirmed that his personal political strategy focuses strictly on organizational discipline and maintaining unity across party ranks to serve public expectations effectively.
