THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: UDF is preparing to conduct a meeting regarding the allotment of seats for upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Mani and Joseph factions are going through a cold war in Kerala Congress (M). Though Mani had demanded an additional seat, UDF may not give Kerala Congress (M) another seat. Therefore, everyone is looking at the moves of P J Joseph. Muslim League has also demanded an additional seat. Kerala Congress Jacob had also asked for a seat.

However, since Congress is aiming for maximum number of seats from South India, they are likely to decline the offer. Discussions will be held with IUML and Kerala Congress (M). Discussion with other parties will be conducted later.

Meantime, it has been rumoured that IUML won’t ask for an additional seat tomorrow. IUML is focusing on the assembly elections.
