Aikya Kerala Congress was an alliance consisting of four political parties in Kerala, India; Kerala Congress (Mani), Kerala Congress (Balakrishna Pillai), Kerala Congress (Jacob) and Kerala Congress (Secular). The alliance was formed in November 2008. K.M. Mani is the chairman of AKC, whilst R. Balakrishna Pillai is the convenor of the alliance.
However this movement was unsuccessful and disbanded. Later in October 2009 Kerala Congress (Secular) merged with Kerala Congress (Mani).
Famous quotes containing the word congress:
“I date the end of the old republic and the birth of the empire to the invention, in the late thirties, of air conditioning. Before air conditioning, Washington was deserted from mid-June to September.... But after air conditioning and the Second World War arrived, more or less at the same time, Congress sits and sits while the presidents—or at least their staffs—never stop making mischief.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
