THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Following dispute among Congress leaders on Pala MLA Mani C Kappan joining the UDF as an ally, the 10- member AICC-appointed Election Management and Strategic Committee’s second sitting decided to pass the buck to the next UDF meeting.AICC organising general secretary K C Venugopal maintained that K Sudhakaran MP’s frequent comments on ‘toddy tapper’ should be immediately stopped lest it affects the prospects of the UDF in the Assembly elections.
Ever since Kappan joined the UDF camp, KPCC president Mullappally Ramachandran had been demanding that he should be joining the Congress. It should be recalled that Kappan has been awaiting the central leadership’s permission to form Kerala NCP. Mullappally’s view is that Kappan should join the Congress as they feel that NCP being an ally of the UPA at the Centre and when it comes to the state, it is with the LDF camp, will not benefit the party.
