UDF confident of maintaining power, say Congress party sources
The administration of the Thrikkakara municipality has gone into a tailspin with the Opposition Left Democratic Front (LDF) trying to seize power through a no-confidence motion against chairperson Ajitha Thankappan of the Congress party despite the ruling United Democratic Front (UDF) looking assured of winning the motion comfortably. The voting on the no-confidence motion is slated for September 23 and the Opposition leader M.K. Chandrababu said the LDF was confident of carrying the motion through. But the task looks a little difficult. The UDF has 21 councillors — 16 from the Congress and five from the Indian Union Muslim League. There are also five Congress rebels, of whom four have extended support to the ruling UDF council. One of the rebels has extended support to the Opposition LDF. In effect, the UDF has the support of 25 councillors while the LDF has the support of 18.More Related News
