Thiruvananthapuram, May 16 (PTI) Congress leader T Siddique on Saturday said the recent issues over the Chief Minister’s post would be resolved amicably, comparing the situation to labour pain.

Speaking to reporters on his arrival here to meet AICC leader K C Venugopal, Siddique said all issues would be effectively settled by the Chief Minister-designate and the party leadership, which listens to everyone.

To a query about the dissent by senior leader Ramesh Chennithala over being denied the Chief Minister’s post, he said, “Every issue will be resolved after discussions.” Siddique compared the current differences among party leaders to labour pain.

“It might be easy to speak about a delivery. But a mother has to go through severe emotional and physical pain. There will be discussions and planning to resolve the issue. It is an attempt to ensure the birth of a good child,” he said.

Asked whether he would be a minister, the Kalpetta MLA said the decision would be taken by the party.
