UDF leaders reject Kerala Congress (M) return
Some leaders in the UDF, a political group in Kerala, have been talking about letting the Kerala Congress (M) party come back.
But other leaders in the UDF, like Nattakom Suresh and P J Joseph, are saying no.
They think the Kerala Congress (M) left the UDF for no good reason and have lost their support.
The UDF recently won many local elections without the Kerala Congress (M)'s help.
The leader of the Kerala Congress (M), Jose K Mani, has also said his party will stay with the LDF, another political group.
So, it seems the Kerala Congress (M) won't be coming back to the UDF anytime soon.
UDF leaders reject Kerala Congress (M) return due to eroded support base.
Kerala Congress (M) left UDF for LDF under Jose K Mani's leadership.
UDF won recent local body elections without Kerala Congress (M)'s support.
Kerala Congress (Joseph) strongly opposes any move to welcome Kerala Congress (M) back.
Jose K Mani affirmed Kerala Congress (M)'s loyalty to the LDF.
