Keen to push ahead with its demand for a second Lok Sabha seat in Central Travancore, the revamped high-power committee of the Kerala Congress (M) is slated to meet in Kottayam on September 24.
Party sources said the 23-member committee would discuss the strategy to affirm the party’s hold across the region for demanding the additional seat. Other key issues that will come up for discussion include the recent developments in the sexual harassment case filed by the Solar scam accused and the Left Democratic Front’s setback in the Puthuppally byelection.
While Kottayam remains to be its sitting seat, the KC(M) is fancying its chances for an additional seat in consideration of its influence among the settler farmers and the Christian electorate.
