Rift widens in Congress over cabinet reshuffle, induction
Posted on: 16 Apr 2012
Kozhikode: Senior Congress leader P T Thomas, MP, today alleged that a conspiracy was being hatched against Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy over reshuffle of portfolios and allocation of an additional ministerial berth to the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) last week.
Talking to newspersons Mr Thomas, representing Idukki in the Lok Sabha, said a conspiracy was being hatched in the Congress against Mr Chandy seeking his ouster.
Stating that Mr Chandy cannot be pulled down by whimsical manner, he called upon the Congress high command to take immediate steps to identify the elements, who were behind the act.
He said, 'the state assembly would be dissolved if Mr Chandy went to the Raj Bhavan with a piece of paper.' The Indian Union Muslim League, the second biggest partner in the coalition government, was a divided house over the minister issue, he said.
Meanwhile, senior leader and Electricity minister Arayadan Mohammed claimed the Congress would be able to win the forthcoming Rajya seat on its own.
Apparently hinting that the party would not need backing of the IUML for the purpose, he said the Congress with 38 seats in the Assembly would be able to win the seat comfortably.
Talking at a reception in the neighbouring Malappuram district, he said the IUML would not have won all those seats (20) if they had contested alone in the last assembly poll in the state.
Rift appears to be widening in the Congress-led ruling coalition in the state with many top leaders including V M Sudheeran, K Muraleedharan and Aryadan expressing their displeasure over the issue Mr Sudheeran even demanded convening an executive meet of the Kerala Congress Committee to discuss the issue immediately.
Various other bodies, including Nair Service Society and Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) yogam, also came out strongly against the issue. (UNI)
