Let Mani leave, I’ll stay: George

KOTTAYAM: Government Chief Whip P C George has said that he will not leave Kerala Congress (M) but Mani can leave if he wishes. “If Mani wants, he can leave the party  and he has no right to oust me,” said George, adding, “Kerala is not a party now and it has become a confederation”.     

George said he would vote for the UDF in the Rajya Sabha election. He would suggest to the Speaker to allow open voting so that the trust in him is not lost.   

Chief Minister Oommen Chandy will consider on Monday the demand for removing George as Chief Whip. He is reportedly thinking about retaining George in the UDF, though he may have to be removed from his present post. The chief minister will hold talks in this regard with Mani and George on Monday.
