Antony leaves for Delhi

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, FEB. 17 . The Chief Minister, A.K. Antony, left here today for Delhi, where he is expected to hold discussions with Congress leaders on poll-related matters.

The Chief Minister is likely to meet the Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and the Finance Minister, Jaswant Singh, to seek liberal Central assistance to tackle the severe drought situation in the State, sources at the Chief Minister's office said. Mr. Antony would also brief the high command on the prospects of the party in the Lok Sabha polls, especially in the wake of induction of the former Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee chief, K. Muraleedharan, in the Cabinet as part of a patch-up deal in the faction-ridden State unit of the party. _ PTI
