Pj joseph, Indian Politician

Kerala Congress (M) leader PJ Joseph on Tuesday approached the Kerala High Court challenging the Election Commission of India's order declaring the group led by Jose K M as the official Kerala Congress (M) party and that they are entitled to use the party's election symbol of 'Two Leaves'.The petition said, "Jose K M raised a claim that he was elected chairman of the party at a state committee meeting held on June 16 last year. A civil court held that the election is not, prima facie, valid. However, Jose K M approached the election commission claiming majority in the 450-member state committee. Finding that there were differences in the lists of state committee members submitted before it, the election commission created a list of 305 members who were common in both the lists and applied a majority test, which resulted in the order."The civil court's decision cannot be ignored or bypassed by the election commission. The majority test was conducted with a truncated body and was based on defective and irrelevant affidavits put in by Jose K M, said petition.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
