THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala said Mani C Kappan joining the UDF will be a political victory for the UDF. He said that Kappan will be fielded in Pala itself. The LDF has no right to talk ethics. Roshy Augustine and N Jayaraj did not resign when they left the UDF, he said in an interview to a private channel.

Meantime, disciplinary action will be taken against Mani C Kappan floating a new party. His anti-party activities will be brought to the notice of the national leadership and action will be taken after holding talks with T P Peethambaran, said Minister A K Saseendran.
