I don’t owe a reply to Kanam, Kerala Congress will stand independently and has not left UPA, says Jose K Mani

KOTTAYAM: I don’t owe a reply to CPI state secretary Kanam Rajendran, said Jose K Mani. I don’t know why CPI is of that stand. Kerala Congress is still part of the UPA. We have not left the UPA even after leaving UDF. We have now decided to stand independently without being in both Fronts, he said.

Jose said that no talks were held on joining hands with the LDF. The CPI has the right to say their opinion. Kanan had yesterday mentioned that MPs of Jose K Mani faction are still part of the UPA and let them shelve that first. Kanam spoke against Jose after recollecting that Veerendra Kumar came to the LDF after resigning his MP post.
