PJ Joseph to leave Mani, but to be with UDF

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: PJ Joseph on Wednesday told the Congress leaders that he is ready to continue in UDF but not as part of Kerala Congress (M). The disgruntled leader said he would be reviving the old Kerala Congress (Joseph) group and would continue in UDF. Joseph met senior Congress leaders Oommen Chandy, Ramesh Chennithala and Mullappally Ramachandran in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday and made it clear that he could not continue with K M Mani.
Joseph said he was being sidelined and his followers were not given the due share after his return to the party from LDF. He also said that he came to know about the selection of Kottayam candidate only through media.
