A UDF meeting held at his residence evaluated that only Thiruvambadi, Ottapalam, Irinjalakuda, Kuttanad and Palai evoked a meek response. At the start of the UDF meeting, JD (U) leaders K. P. Mohanan and Varughese George informed the leadership that they would not ditch them.

A top UDF leader said chances of JD (U) president M. P. Veerendra Kumar and his son M. V.

Shreyams Kumar leaving them could not be ruled out.

IUML leader P. K. Kunhalikutty informed the meeting that if the Congress leaders stick together leaving out group rivalries and egos, then the UDF would come back to power, others like RSP’s N. K.

Premachandran and KC (J) chairman Johnny Nellore endorsed. Mr Kunhalikutty said chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s claim of prosecuting his predecessor Oommen Chandy on rape charges had boomeranged on him. “This baseless charges boosted Mr Chandy’s image. Thursday’s UDF meeting which lasted for close to four hours evaluated Padayorukkam in detail,” a UDF leader told.
