Thiruvananthapuram:
The electoral adjustment between the Congress-led UDF and DIC-K led by K Karunakaran for the coming assembly polls in Kerala was finalised today (Mar 24 2006) by leaders from both parties.
The DIC-K would get 18 seats as part of the accord signed by DIC-K president K Muraleedharan and Kerala PCC president Ramesh Chennithala in the presence of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy at the latter's residence.
"We need the senior leader Karunakaran's support to fight the coming elections. We will join with him and all the problems between us have been solved," CWC member in charge of Kerala affairs Veerappa Moily told reporters after holding talks with DIC-K leaders Muraleedharan, T M Jacob and IUML leader P K Kunnhalikutty who acted as mediator between the two parties.
While Muraleedharan said his party would actively work for UDF's victory, Chennitala said he was happy that all the Congressmen were reuniting under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi.
