PJ Joseph blames Mani for article

KOTTAYAM: Indicating the worsening of relationship between the warring factions in the Kerala Congress (Mani),  party working chairman P.J. Joseph said on Friday that the article appeared in party mouthpiece  Prathichaya against him is with the knowledge of Mr Jose K. Mani, MP.

"Prathichaya has lost its image," Mr Joseph said. "Everyone knows who is behind the article. The behaviour of Mr Mani is immature.  They should think whether such moves are helpful for the victory of the candidate."

The article in Prathichaya said leaders who tried to block the way of the Mani faction became fools and that the candidate selection process had increased the popularity of Mr Mani, obliquely referring to an image tussle and the advantage the rival group has over Mr Joseph.
