P C Chacko has doubts about Congress victory
KOCHI: AICC spokesperson P C Chacko has said that the current political climate in the national was not favourable to the Congress party and therefore the party cannot rubbish the party’s possibility to sit in the Opposition. Even if receives a setback in election at national level, the Congress will make some progress in Kerala.
Chacko was taking part in the election debate organised by Ernakulam Press Club on Saturday.
Chacko said: The UPA government has failed in reaching out to the people to inform them about its achievements. The party also failed to check allegations of corruption. The Prime Minister often shied away from facing the media and this has drawn several criticisms. Many in the cabinet have urged the prime minister to talk to media about his government’s administrative achievements, at least once in a week. This suggestion was raised even in AICC meet. But for some reason or other, the prime minister had not given in to that suggestion.

LDF won't get back even security deposit in Idukki: K M Mani
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Taking a dig at the Left parties, Kerala Congress (M) chairman and Finance Minister K M Mani has said that the LDF will not get back even the security deposit in the coming Lok Sabha election. Dean Kuriakose will be seen as his party’s own candidate and he will work for his victory.
“Idukki seat is the soul of Kerala Congress. In the case of seat, it has not expressed any displeasure. In the election, the party has compromised its ambitions for the victory of the UDF,” Mani said, adding “in the politics of Fronts, compromises are natural”.
Mani said the LDF had lost its sheen to lure people; instead it had been repelling people, forcing them to ditch the Front. Weirdness in LDF policies was to blame. “Only UPA government is fit to run a stable government,” he added.

Dean faces Idukki Bishop’s criticism
KATTAPPANA: Dean Kuriakose, UDF candidate contesting in the Idukki Lok Sabha seat, faced sharp criticism from Idukki Bishop Mar Mathew Anikkuzhikkattil. He was harshly criticized when he came to seek the blessings of the bishop.
The bishop said leaders visit us only to seek votes. After assuming power, they forget us. The congress leaders are arrogant. The youth congress without any maturity had criticized the sabha over the Kasturirangan report.
He also criticized Idukki MP P T Thomas. Thomas, who was against the sabha in the Kasturirangan issue, dug his own pit. The sabha has not ousted him. He was forced to withdraw from the fray.
Minister Adoor Prakash was also not spared. He was blamed for the lapse in issuing title deeds for farmers in Idukki. He should be ousted for taking an indifferent attitude on the issue, the bishop said.
