Carrying on the momentum it attained during the recent local body polls, the Left Democratic Front formed administrative councils in as many as 31 out of the 53 grama panchayats and seven out of the eight block panchayats in Pathanamthitta.
The United Democratic Front came to power in 17 grama panchayats while the National Development Alliance captured power in three panchayats.
The fate of the remaining two panchayats- Kottangal and Thottapuzhassey, will be decided later.
The day also witnessed some dramatic scenes as Binu Joseph, the CPI(M) member, who had been elected as president of the Kottangal panchayat with the support of the SDPI, resigned from the post moments later. Both the LDF and the BJP have five members each in the panchayat council while the UDF has just two members besides one member by the SDPI.
