Kottayam ∙ Confusion over the transfer of Pala Municipal Chairman post from Kerala Congress to CPM continues. The agreement between CPM and Kerala Congress will expire on Wednesday. It was decided in today’s municipal council meeting that the current municipal chairman, Anto Jose West, will resign. The CPM has not reached an agreement on who will hold the post of chairman.
There was no difference of opinion in the Kerala Congress on vacating the post from the very first stage. But the difficulties in accepting the newcomer were heard. About two months ago, there were differences of opinion regarding this. Party Chairman Jose K. Mani said then that a decision can be taken when the contract expires.
He also informed that he will not violate the agreement. A section of the Kerala Congress had put pressure, including Jose K. Mani, in favor of Binu Pulikalkandam. The possibility of Binu being considered once more for the post of municipal chairman cannot be ruled out.
