Significance in view of NCP-KC(M) Jose faction dispute
Adding fuel to speculation of yet another political realignment, Kerala Congress leader P.J. Joseph on Tuesday expressed his willingness to give the Pala Assembly seat to Mani C. Kappan, MLA, of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), a constituent of the Left Democratic Front (LDF).
Talking to mediapersons, Mr. Joseph hoped that Mr.Kappan would contest as the UDF candidate from the seat in the coming Assembly polls. “We have decided to hand over that seat. My assessment is that Mr.Kappan will be contesting for the UDF in the end,” he said.
Mani takes a dig at Kappan’s low-key electioneering efforts
Days after the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) voiced its displeasure over the alleged sidelining by the Left Democratic Front (LDF), the controversy gained traction further on Monday with the Kerala Congress (M) leader Jose K. Mani airing his views on the issue.
Interacting with mediapersons on the sidelines of an event supporting the protests against the farm Bills, Mr. Mani initially sought not to be drawn into the controversy and said any issues that had cropped up locally would be settled within the coalition. However, to a query on reports over the cold response of NCP leader Mani C. Kappan, MLA, during electioneering in Kottayam, Mr. Mani, without denying the charge, replied: “I am not sure. You may verify it yourself and find out.”
