ERUMELI: PC George MLA’s party Janapaksham has severed ties with the CPM in protest against the government’s stand on women’s entry in Sabarimala.

Following this George sided with BJP at Poonjar panchayat and gave notice for no-confidence motion against CPM president.

P C George later told media persons at Erumeli that any relationship with the CPM, which betrays believers, is sin.

“The decision on new alliance for Lok Sabha election will be announced during the days close to LS election. I’ve not felt that BJP men are bad. I keep equal distance from the BJP and Congress,” he said.

Thus three-year bonhomie between CPM and Janapaksham in Poonjar Grama panchayat ended in a sour note over Sabarimala issue.
