Pala: In the wake of existing issues over the Pala seat in the upcoming Assembly elections, Power Minister MM Mani on Saturday harshly criticised Mani C Kappan MLA. Speaking at the event marking the 88th birth anniversary of the late Kerala Congress (M) leader, KM Mani, the minister stated that no one needs to raise claim for the Pala seat.

No discussions on seat sharing has commenced in the LDF. Hence no one needs to raise claim on Pala seat. The Front will decide and take proper stance, Mani said in the presence of Kerala Congress (M) leader Jose K Mani.  

The minister’s remarks come at a time when there is evident disagreement in the LDF over Pala seat after Jose K Mani faction joined the Front.
