LDF loses town planning committee in Kochi Corporation
The Hindu
UDF’s no-confidence motion against panel chairperson passed
The ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) lost the chairperson post of the town planning standing committee of the Kochi Corporation after a United Democratic Front (UDF)-sponsored no-confidence motion against the chairperson was passed on Monday.
The no-confidence motion against chairperson J. Sanilmon, who won the civic body election as a UDF rebel candidate, was passed with the support of M.H.M. Ashraf, a CPI(M) councillor who later parted ways with the organisation. Mr. Ashraf distanced himself from the party and did not renew his membership in protest against the party decision to make Mr. Sanilmon the chairperson, overlooking his claim for the post.
The LDF was reduced to four members in the nine-member town planning committee following the death of K.K. Sivan, the CPI(M) councillor who represented the Gandhi Nagar Division.
