Kerala Congress (M) returning to UDF? Jose K Mani sets record straight

New Indian Express  

KOTTAYAM: Amid rumours surrounding Kerala Congress ’s return to the UDF, party chairman Jose K Mani on Monday categorically denied all the speculations and accused the Congress-led front of spreading false reports to divert attention from the internal conflicts plaguing itself. Jose’s statement followed reports that the UDF was making concerted efforts to bring the KC back to its fold with the active backing of Indian Union Muslim League and Catholic Church. There are speculations that the IUML may offer its Thiruvambady assembly seat to Jose in exchange for the Pala constituency, although IUML has denied the claims. Another option for Jose is the Kaduthuruthy seat currently held by KC Joseph group leader Mons Joseph, with reports suggesting that IUML may offer Thiruvambady in such a scenario.
