KOCHI: Kerala Congress (M) working chairman P J Joseph stood with a serious face and told Rahul Gandhi, “Kerala Congress has MPs since 1977. We won two seats in 1984. We had two MPs even when we contested as two separate parties. Now, we have only one seat. Therfore, we need one more seat”. K M Mani supported P J Joseph and said, “We want one more seat”.

“I am not getting involved in this matter. You please settle this issue with the senior leaders of Congress in Kerala”, said Rahul Gandhi. Mullappally Ramachandran agreed to hold a discussion and the topic ended. Rahul’s discussion with UDF leaders at Ernakulam guest house ended within 30 minutes.

Kunjalikkkutty did not demand more seats for IUML.

K M Mani also praised Rahul’s speech. N K Premachandran praised Rahul for his actions against Modi at the parliament. Johnny Nellur demaned that the UDF should stand united even after the allotment of seats.
