PALA: Addressing a gathering at UDF election convention here, Kerala Congress leader P.J. Joseph opined that the differences with Jose K. Mani will end soon and such disputes are not permanent.

“Will accept any decision of the front. On that basis, everyone should vote for Jose Tom. I’ll be at the election campaign from today”, Joseph said.

“Pinarayi just talks about New Kerala but does nothing about it. The party accepts that they were wrong in Sabarimala issue. May Jose Tom follow the footsteps of K.M. Mani who worked for the development of Pala constituency”, he added.

P.J. Joseph was welcomed with boos by the activists of Jose K. Mani group at the election convention of UDF candidate Jose Tom Pulikunnel. They also sloganeered ‘go back’ when Joseph stood up to address the gathering. When the protests continued, Joseph said that he understands the emotion of people and said that the stand taken by him was not personal.
