John, a former AICC member, accused the Congress of having a 'power group' that held influence over promotions and rankings within the party. She alleged that she was insulted by the Opposition leader and asked why she was attending a funeral. CPM State Secretary M V Govindan referenced John's interview in a dig at the Opposition Congress in the state.

Govindan emphasized John's assertion that a 'power group' within the Congress was behind the underrepresentation of women in leadership roles within the party. He suggested that Satheesan, Congress leader, was part of such a group within the CPM.
