Two weeks back, TPCC vice president Mallu Ravi had met with the TJS president and other office bearers in the city. This meeting was held on December 5 after the Congress was elected to power.
In the wake of cabinet expansion, the political circles are abuzz with speculations over the possible allotments to TJS leaders.
