IDUKKI: PJ Joseph on Thursday said that an immediate decision must be taken regarding the matter of Kottayam District Panchayat President post. While stating that senior Congress leaders including Oommen Chandy have expressed their views regarding the matter, Joseph added that his group is not ready for any more discussion unless the Jose faction hands over the Panchayat president post.
According to Joseph, all constituent parties in the UDF have the responsibility to accept the decisions taken by the coalition leadership and any party not willing to accept the decisions do not deserve to remain in the UDF. Rubbishing Jose K Mani's accusation that he is planning to move to the LDF, Joseph added that he hasn't made any such plans, and these are all Jose K Mani's imaginations. Earlier, Jose K Mani had said that Joseph might be planning to move to the LDF.
