Soon after Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) secretary P S Prasanth submitted a letter to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi seeking removal of AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal's name from District Committee Presidents list, he was expelled from the party.

In his letter, he alleged that Venugopal works as "an agent of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)." Kerala Congress chief K Sudhakaran told ANI that Prasanth was expelled on making "wild" allegations. "PS Prasanth has been expelled from the party for challenging the Congress High Command and making wild allegations," he said.
