A political dispute in Mattathur grama panchayat has concluded with a compromise. Vice-president Noorjahan Navas resigned, submitting her letter to the KPCC, while panchayat president Tessy Jose, an Independent, will not step down. This resolution follows alleged pressure on Ms. Navas to vote for the BJP, which she denies, affirming her commitment to the UDF. The compromise aims to reconcile Congress leadership with dissenting members.
