THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Will P V Anvar quits as legislator to overcome the disqualification issue after becoming a member of the Trinamool Congress? Anvar is likely to hold a press meet shortly today. Anvar's press meet is at 9.30 am. He will meet the Speaker at 9 am. It is hinted that this is to submit his resignation. The press conference will be held after this.
The independent MLA post is an obstacle to officially joining the Trinamool Congress. If Anvar joins another party before the end of the term of the assembly, he will face disqualification. Indications are that he is trying to overcome this by resigning.
P V Anvar joined Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress the other day. Anvar will presently hold the post of Trinamool's state coordinator. Along with this, it is also reported that Mamata Banerjee has given the responsibility of coordinating the party's responsibilities in Kerala to MPs Sushmita Dev and Mahua Moitra. No decision has been taken yet on whether to take Anvar into the UDF. Anvar is trying to prove his strength to the government and the LDF by contesting again from Nilambur.
