KOCHI: Two councillors have come forward supporting Kochi Mayor Soumini Jain. Congress member Jose Mary and independent member Geetha Prabhakar are the two who have come forward supporting her. Councillors are unaware of the current moves, the interest of some leaders are the reason for the uproar, they said.

Meantime, KPCC chief Mullappally Ramachandran has summoned her to the capital city. Senior leaders of the district had approached Mullappally seeking a revamp of Kochi Corporation Governing Council. The leaders demanded the removal of not only the mayor but also the chairman of the standing committees.

‌The senior leaders unitedly demanded to make reality the deal made during election time that there will be a change after two and a half years. They said they are raising this not because of the heavy rains that lashed the district on the election day and not because of court’s criticism. Mullappally initially disagreed with the proposal to replace the mayor, but eventually agreed to consider it at tomorrow's meeting convened to assess the party's electoral performance. ‌‌

Meantime, mayor Soumini Jain said the party state leadership has to take a final decision on it.
