Keen to affirm its hold across the Central Travancore region ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha election, the first meeting of the revamped high-power committee of the Kerala Congress (M) here on Sunday sought to highlight its success in addressing settler farmers’ issues.
The meeting, presided over by party chairman Jose K. Mani, MP, emphasised that the regional party had indeed played a key role in addressing the title deed issues faced by the farmers for more than six decades. Terming the amendment brought to the Land Assignment act a proud achievement, the party noted that one of the earliest petitions submitted by the KC(M) parliamentary party to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan pertained to a demand for amending the Act.
