PC Chacko, who quit the Congress on Wednesday, has said that he party is dead as no democratic discussions take place anymore. Alleging groupism in the party, Chacko told NDTV that the Congress in Kerala works in two separate factions that did not allow any discussion on candidates for the Kerala polls. Unlike many other Congress leaders, Chacko, however, ruled out joining the BJP. Calling the ruling party"communal", he stated that joining it was "unacceptable to him". But he also made it clear that even this close to the April 6 Kerala election, he saw no option but to quit the Congress.
