However, Saseendran has pledged his full support to Chacko camp.
Thomas in the past has also requested NCP Supremo Sharad Pawar not to say things publicly but to discuss them within the party meetings.

During the 2021 state assembly elections, the NCP had decided to give Chandy seat to Thomas, which he won comfortably.
