The party workers said the office was on sale for Rs 10,000 and interested parties could contact either Kerala Congress (Mani) or the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML). The Congress has been witnessing an upheaval over the last 4-5 days after it decided to offer the Rajya Sabha seat vacated by senior leader and deputy chairman of the Rajya Sabha P J Kurien to Kerala Congress (Mani). IUML’s senior leader P K Kunhalikutty played a crucial role in getting Congress to offer the seat to the Mani group.
IUML’s planned the move to ensure that the BJP doesn’t woo Kerala Congress (Mani) for an alliance in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The BJP’s had been reportedly wooing the Mani group to try and win a couple of seats in the Kottayam belt.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
