She was elected with WPI backing
A CPI(M) councillor in Vettom grama panchayat stepped down as standing committee chairperson within hours of being elected on Saturday.
K.T. Rubeena resigned as chairperson of the welfare standing committee after she was elected with the support of the Welfare Party of India (WPI).
Ms. Rubeena became the first civic body member in Malabar to step down from an elected position as a result of the disenchantment between the CPI(M) and the WPI.
Ms. Rubeena was elected head of the standing committee by three votes against two in the election held on Saturday morning. Apart from two LDF votes, she got the lone WPI vote too.
