KOTTAYAM: PC George had decided to associate with BJP earlier this year, but it has been reported that at present he is leaning towards UDF.

George had backed Jalandhar bishop Franco Mulackal and he was invited for Christmas celebrations in Jalandhar diocese. George met with a senior Congress leader in Delhi while coming back from Jalandhar. P C George told Kerala Kaumudi that the Congress leader declared his support to him.

CPM had lost rule after a no-confidence motion got passed in Poonjar and Thekkekkara panchayats with support from Congress. George has decided to associate with UDF following this.

It was earlier hinted that Shawn George will contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls with support from NDA. However several leaders have left Janapaksham party following George's association with NDA. The Muslim community was also against George after he declared his association with BJP.

Some leaders of Congress support George's entry to UDF. However, Mani Group has come forward against the reinstatement of P C George.
