Local Congress leaders had also submitted a report to the KPCC leaders asking them to give Pramod a better position in the party.
Sources claimed that KPCC President D.K. Shivakumar, the party’s state in-charge Randeep Surjewala, AICC general secretary K.C. Venugopal have recently called Madhwaraj and have promised to give a higher position in the party.
