THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday said that UDF's lifeline got severed with the departure of Jose K Mani. While stating that the damage caused by Jose's departure will be irreparable for the UDF, Vijayan added that LDF will be more strengthened by Jose's entry.
"Many elements of the Kerala Congress are now with the LDF. K.M. Mani had earlier collaborated with the LDF. Mani himself had once said that Congress had hurt him the most," the CM said.
