NCP’s Kerala unit President TP Peethambaran and party MLA Mani C Kappan has met party supremo and former Union Minister Sharad Pawar in Mumbai, a day after Transport Minister AK Saseendran met him.

The two meetings come in the wake of infighting within Kerala’s NCP, led by Peethambaran and Saseendran. "During the meeting with Pawarji, he insisted that the party must get all four Assembly seats it had contested earlier. If Pawarji takes a decision, Saseendran will also have to abide by it," Peethambaran told media persons.

Peethambaran and Kappan have already started discussions with the Congress-led United Democratic Front as the party leadership feels that the ruling Left Democratic Front may not give it the Pala seat which Kappan is eyeing to recontest.  Peethamabaran claimed that the LDF did not fare well in the recent local body elections.

However, Kappan issued a veiled threat, saying that “we are expecting the LDF to provide all four seats we contested in the last Assembly polls to our party in the next state elections; we had wrested the Pala seat after 53 years and if there is any issue, we will decide on our next step”.
