KC(M) returning to UDF? Jose sets record straight

Amid rumours surrounding Kerala Congress (M)'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 said none had been tasked with setting the political agenda of the KC(M).

"A power struggle for leadership is going on within the UDF. In order to hide this conflict, there is a concerted move to spread misinformation that the KC(M) will be switching alliances. Despite repeatedly affirming the political stance of KC(M), some are spreading the same baseless news. Nevertheless, some people have now realized that KC(M) was the backbone of UDF politics," Jose said.
