Backing CPM has CF Thomas disenchanted

Thomas, deputy chairman of Kerala Congress, is disenchanted with the party leadership over its latest love towards the LDF. Mr Thomas told DC that Mr Mani’s move to join the LDF was never discussed in any party forums. The parliamentary party leaders, who participated in Monday's meeting, had wanted further discussions in the presence of Mr Thomas. An office-bearer of the party told DC that Mr Thomas and other leaders were against the oneupmanship of KC vice-chairman Jose K. Mani whom they believe was behind the move to join hands with the LDF in the Kottayam district panchayat elections. Former Youth Front leader Job Michael had staked his claim for the Changanassery Assembly seat in the last elections, and Mr Thomas was given the seat as a result of last-minute discussions.
