The tussle between two factions in the Kerala Congress (M) for the Kuttanad Assembly seat reached a flash point on Saturday with the Jose K. Mani faction lodging a complaint to the United Democratic Front (UDF) convener against the party working chairman P.J. The seat belongs to the Jose faction and there is no question of giving it up,’’ said Stephen George, office secretary of the KC(M) Jose faction who filed the complaint. The Jose faction has constituted a subcommittee to identify a suitable candidate. The UDF is yet to respond to the claims of the factions. The KC(M) factions, however, rule out the possibility of any such situations.
