THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Dissent in the CPM state committee meeting against the fielding of four ministers who have completed two terms, namely, EP Jayarajan, Thomas Isaac, G Sudhakaran and AK Balan. It was decided at the party meeting that they should abide by the two-term conditions.

There are indications that five ministers, including Minister C Raveendranath, who has stated that he will not contest, will not have seats. Today, the party leadership will decide the position to be taken in the bilateral talks in the LDF. With the exception of the disputed seats, a decision will be taken tomorrow.
