KPCC election committee meeting postponed

With bilateral talks on seat sharing for May 16 Assembly polls still continuing among Congress-led UDF partners, the Congress election committee meeting scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed.
KPCC election committee meeting would be held on March 21, a party release said here today.
Congress sources said the meeting was postponed as talks with Front partners were progressing and also most of the party leaders would be out of town tomorrow.
Besides KPCC President V M Sudheeran, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala are the other members of the Committee.
A meeting of UDF leaders is also scheduled to be held on March 21 to finalise the list of candidates of the Front.

Meanwhile, talks with KC-M on seat sharing held at Kottayam remained inconclusive.

Talks were also progressing in the CPI-M-led LDF Opposition front, with CPI-M holding discussions with JSS leader and veteran communist K R Gouri, NCP, JD (S) and also Congress (S).
Congress (S) leader Kadannappalli Ramachandran said talks were on and the party has asked for a 'safe' seat for its candidate.
The LDF plan is to complete the seat-sharing talks before the high power liaison committee meeting of the Front next week.
