KOZHIKODE: There was a demand at the CPM Kozhikode district secretariat to take over the Kuttiady constituency. The demand at the secretariat was to take over Kuttiadi after giving Thiruvambady to Jose K Mani. With this, it is believed that Thiruvambady constituency will be given to Kerala Congress (M).

A final decision will be taken at the district committee convened here today. The names of Girish John and Linto Joseph are in the probable list in Thiruvambady. Priority is for Linto Joseph, Koodaranji panchayat president. There were posters demanding to field K P Kunhammedkutty, CPM district secretariat district and former president of district panchayat, in Kuttiady.

The posters appeared in the CPM stronghold. The local leadership had earlier informed the committees that the decision to give Kuttiady constituency to Kerala Congress (M) Jose faction would lead to big outbursts within the party.
