With the Congress rejecting the KC demand, Mr Joseph has queered the pitch and said that he will contest from Kottayam. The Congress has made it clear that the Rajya Sabha seat given to the KC should be considered as the second seat. “When the Rajya Sabha seat was given to Mr Jose K. Mani, I have a claim to Kottayam,” he said.
