After GK Vasan's split from the party, the only thing that keeps the Tamil Nadu Congress newsworthy is Karthi Chidambaram, son of former union minister P Chidambaram. Although most of his utterances haven't gone well with the party cadres and leaders, he has suddenly become vocal.

Congress has to be more proactive.
