The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) appears to be descending further into disunity with its two legislators in the Assembly openly taking sides with the party's old guard in its fight against P.C. Chacko, incumbent president of the party's State unit.
Frustrated over the nominations by Mr. Chacko of his close aides to the various boards and corporations, the legislators have now decided to step up pressure on party supremo Sharad Pawar to address their concerns. A team comprising Forest Minister A.K. Saseendran, Kuttanad legislator Thomas K. Thomas and NCP general secretary T.K. Peethambaran will once again meet Mr. Pawar in New Delhi on Thursday.
Confirming the move, Mr. Thomas said none of the issues raised with the national leadership during the earlier meetings had been addressed.
