THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The political truck with Welfare Party is a closed chapter, said KPCC chief Mullappally Ramachandran. I have always taken a secular stance. I come from a family with secular heritage. I have so far not added water to it, he said.

Mullappally said, ‘There may be differences of opinion between me and the chief minister. However, I don’t think the chief minister has any disagreement on my secular stand. He knows me well from student politics. The chief minister knows better than anyone else that I never had to change my stand.’

The congress has not made an agreement with the Welfare Party in this election. There will be no more discussions again. Raising a closed chapter is a conspiracy. The news are fabricated. As KPCC chief, P C George has not spoken to me, he said.
