== History ==

=== 1977 Split - Kerala Congress (B) ===
[[File:R Balakrishna Pillai.jpg|thumb|R Balakrishna Pillai]]
Kerala Congress grew under [[K. M. George (politician)|K. M. George]]. [[R. Balakrishna Pillai]] was another founding leader of the party.

Besides these two leaders, [[K. M. Mani]] and [[P. J. Joseph]], the youth front leader rose as prominent leaders of the party. After the death of K. M. George in 1976, there was tussle for control over the party between Pillai and Mani. Pillai felt, as the senior most leader, he would be the [[De facto#Politics|de facto leader]] of the party. However Mani and Joseph had more followers.

In the year 1977, just before the Assembly elections, R. Balakrishna Pillai announced a split from the parent Kerala Congress. This group came to be known as [[Kerala Congress (Balakrishna Pillai)]] with R. Balakrishna Pillai as the Chairman.

In the Assembly elections of 1977, Kerala Congress stayed with [[United Democratic Front (Kerala)|UDF]] and secured 20 seats where as Pillai group secured 2 seats with [[Left Democratic Front (Kerala)|LDF]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=1977 KC and Pilla Group|url=http://kerala.gov.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3776:history-of-kerala-legislature|title=History of Kerala Legislature|website=Kerala.gov|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006101549/http://kerala.gov.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3776%3Ahistory-of-kerala-legislature|archive-date=2014-10-06}}</ref>

===1979 Split – Kerala Congress (Mani)===
[[File:P.J Joseph.jpg|thumb|P.J Joseph]]
[[File:K. M. Mani portrait.jpg|thumb|K. M. Mani]]
Kerala Congress was again split in the year 1979, when veteran Indian politician and the then Minister of Home Affairs in the Kerala government, [[K. M. Mani]] announced a split from the parent Kerala Congress, owing to difference of opinions with [[P. J. Joseph]]. This first group came to be known as [[Kerala Congress (Mani)]] with [[K. M. Mani]] as the Chairman.

Since then [[Kerala Congress]] addressed by the media as [[Kerala Congress (J)]] or [[Kerala Congress (Joseph)]] . Since then [[P.J Joseph]] is the chairman of this party

In the 1979 Panchayat elections, Kerala Congress (M) stayed with [[United Democratic Front (Kerala)|UDF]] and [[Kerala Congress]] under P. J. Joseph stayed with [[Left Democratic Front (Kerala)|LDF]].

In 1980 Assembly elections both factions switched the sides. Kerala Congress (M) moved over to LDF along with Congress Leader A. K. Antony and Kerala Congress under P. J. Joseph moved over to UDF. Later Kerala Congress (M) returned to the UDF. All three factions represented the UDF in the [[1982 Kerala Legislative Assembly election|1982 Assembly election]] as separate entities. In the 1982 UDF government, K. M. Mani (Finance), P. J. Joseph (Revenue), R. Balakrishna Pilai (Transport), T. M. Jacob (Education) are became ministers.

===1985 Merger – Kerala Congress===
In 1985, the Kerala Congress (M) and [[Kerala Congress (Balakrishna Pillai)]] merged with its parent [[Kerala Congress]] under P. J. Joseph.

While the two factions realized that the splits are indeed weakening the party. The merged Kerala Congress had 25 MLAs and 4 Ministers.

On 25 May 1985, at a public meeting at Ernakulam, R. Balakrishna Pllai, then a Minister in the Kerala Cabinet, allegedly incited the people to resort to protests like 'Punjab Model' to get the rights of Kerala State. This became a huge controversy and Pillai was forced to resign from the Cabinet and his portfolio was given to K. M. Mani. Later the [[Kerala High Court]] gave relief to Pillai.

On this grounds the Kerala Congress under Chairman [[P. J. Joseph]] requested the then Chief Minister [[K. Karunakaran]] to reindic Pillai to the cabinet. Karunakaran saw this as an opportunity to weaken Kerala Congress and took a stand that for Pillai to be re-indicted to the cabinet Kerala Congress has to surrender the Finance portfolio held by Mani or be content with 3 minister ships.

This caused Mani to be upset and following a sequence of events, the seeds of another split was already sown.

=== 1987 & 1989 Split – Kerala Congress (Mani) And Kerala Congress (Balakrishna Pillai) ===
Just before the Assembly elections of 1987 the differences between the factions under K. M. Mani and P. J. Joseph got wider following the ''Punjab Model'' speech issue. The Kerala Congress was again split.

The faction under [[K. M. Mani]] was again known as [[Kerala Congress (Mani)]]. Pillai and Joseph remained as Kerala Congress. T. M. Jacob choose to stay with K. M. Mani.

In general there was a discontent among the Kerala Congress leaders that K. M. Mani was not putting the interests of the party, but a large number of ordinary party men stayed with Mani thinking he is right. A lot of Mani's earlier loyal leadership team including the leaders who were initially chosen by Mani to negotiate with Joseph, like O. Lukose and P. C. Joseph had to finally align with Joseph in the political situation that unfolded. However K. M. Mani still commanded his loyalty in ordinary party men who were unaware of the insider information.

On 1989 R Balakrishnan Pillai Left [[Kerala Congress]] and Revived [[Kerala Congress (Balakrishna Pillai)]]

===1993 Split – Kerala Congress (Jacob)===
On 16 December 1993, then Irrigation Affairs Minister [[T. M. Jacob]] along with [[Johnny Nellore]] MLA, [[P.M.Mathew]] MLA, Mathew Stephen MLA, [[Oommen Mathew]], Vakkanad Radhakrishnan, and George Kunnappuzha split from Kerala Congress (M) citing differences with [[K. M. Mani]].

The newly formed faction was called [[Kerala Congress (Jacob)]].

===Late 2000 splits and mergers - Kerala Congress (Secular) and IFDP===
Kerala Congress (Mani) member and then sitting [[Member of parliament, Lok Sabha|Member of Parliament]] from [[Muvattupuzha (Lok Sabha constituency)|Muvattupuzha]] [[P. C. Thomas]], son of [[P. T. Chacko]] who having growing differences with [[K. M. Mani]] because K.M Mani trying to make his son, [[Jose K Mani]] as His successor while a lot of other senior members in the party.

This caused a split of a group of leaders from Kerala Congress (M) to form [[Indian Federal Democratic Party]] aka (I.F.D.P). [[IFDP]] tried to form a national level alliance but failed.

Meanwhile, the parent [[Kerala Congress]] under [[P. J. Joseph]] also split when [[P. C. George]] formed the [[Kerala Congress (Secular)]] splitting away from parent Kerala Congress under [[P. J. Joseph]].

Later [[Indian Federal Democratic Party]] (IFDP), under [[P. C. Thomas]] which split from the Kerala Congress (Mani) group, merged with the parent [[Kerala congress]]. A section of the Indian Federal Democratic Party under M. P. George retains its own cadre (As usual in every Kerala Congress merger).

In October 2009, [[Kerala Congress (Secular)]] under [[P. C. George]], which split from the [[Kerala Congress (Joseph)|Parent party]], merged with the [[Kerala Congress (M)|Mani group]]. A section of the [[Kerala Congress (Secular)]] denied the merger and began to be known as Kerala Congress (Socialist). Kerala Congress (Socialist) soon got dissolved when it merged with the [[Janata Dal (Secular)]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/thscrip/print.pl?file=2010040161620500.htm&date=2010/04/01/&prd=th& |title=Kerala Congress (Socialist) to merge with Janata Dal (S) faction |publisher=Hinduonnet.com |date=2010-04-01 |access-date=2010-09-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606125705/http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/thscrip/print.pl?file=2010040161620500.htm&date=2010%2F04%2F01%2F&prd=th& |archive-date=6 June 2011 |url-status=usurped }}</ref>

===Moves for United Kerala Congress===
There were several unofficial moves for bringing back the various splinter groups together under one umbrella ever since the first split of 1979. In 2007, [[Kerala Congress (Mani)]], [[Kerala Congress (Secular)]], [[Kerala Congress (Balakrishna Pillai)]], and [[Kerala Congress (Jacob)]] tried to form a united forum, but this was unsuccessful.

===Merger of Kerala Congress (Mani) And Kerala Congress (Joseph)===
[[P. J. Joseph]] announced on 30 April 2010 the intention of his group to leave the [[Left Democratic Front (Kerala)|Left Democratic Front]] (LDF), of which his group had been a constituent for two decades, and merge with the group led by [[K. M. Mani]] to form a united Kerala Congress.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ndtv.com/news/india/setback-for-kerala-govt-as-christian-party-part-ways-22323.php |title=Setback for Kerala govt as Christian party part ways, NDTV, 1 May 2010 |publisher=Ndtv.com |date=2010-05-01 |access-date=2010-09-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100614045812/http://www.ndtv.com/news/india/setback-for-kerala-govt-as-christian-party-part-ways-22323.php |archive-date=14 June 2010 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/article418680.ece |title=Kerala Congress(J) pulls out of LDF, The Hindu, 30 Apr. 2010 |publisher=Beta.thehindu.com |date=2010-04-30 |access-date=2010-09-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140501235835/http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/article418680.ece |archive-date=1 May 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref>

K. M. Mani reciprocated shortly thereafter, welcoming the exit of the Joseph group from the LDF.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/thscrip/print.pl?file=2010050157630100.htm&date=2010/05/01/&prd=th& |title=UDF consent not needed: Mani |publisher=Hinduonnet.com |date=2010-05-01 |access-date=2010-09-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606132139/http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/thscrip/print.pl?file=2010050157630100.htm&date=2010%2F05%2F01%2F&prd=th& |archive-date=6 June 2011 |url-status=usurped }}</ref>

This reunited the two factions which had split in 1979 to form a single Kerala Congress, and made it the largest constituent of the [[United Democratic Front (India)|United Democratic Front]] (UDF) after the [[Indian National Congress]].

However, other factions including Kerala Congress (Balakrishna Pillai), kept out of this merger. A faction under P. C. Thomas also dissented and stayed back with the [[Left Democratic Front (Kerala)|Left Democratic Front]], forming the [[Kerala Congress (Anti-merger Group)]].

During the 2011 Kerala Assembly elections, both [[P. J. Joseph]] and [[P. C. Thomas]] claimed the party symbol Bicycle and the party name Kerala Congress. Registration of the name Kerala Congress was temporarily frozen by the Election Commission as the arguments were inconclusive.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://eci.gov.in/eci_main/ElectoralLaws/KCOrder_24032011.pdf |title=KC-order |work=[[Election Commission of India]] |date=2011-03-25 |access-date=2011-04-06 }} {{dead link|date=June 2019}}</ref>

The Joseph group which united with the Mani group was asked to adopt the name of [[Kerala Congress (M)]] and its symbol Two Leaves. The Thomas group was allotted the name [[Kerala Congress (Anti-merger Group)]] and the symbol Chair.

So [[Kerala Congress]] Become Dissolved Party for the first time since 2011

====2014 Lok Sabha Election====
After the merger with [[Kerala Congress (Joseph)|Joseph Group]] , Kerala Congress (Mani) made claims to the Idukki Lok Sabha seat within the [[United Democratic Front (India)|United Democratic Front]] for the 2014 elections.

There was a strong sentiment against the sitting congress M.P, P. T. Thomas because of his stand on the Kasturirangan Report. [[Francis George (politician)|Francis George]], who was earlier M.P. from the constituency, was very vocal against the Kasturirangan Report and had mobilized the people in protest along with several other banners. The Congress high command denied seat to Kerala Congress and Dean Kuriakose was announced as the [[United Democratic Front (India)|UDF]] candidate.

The [[Left Democratic Front (Kerala)|LDF]] tactically didn't announce its candidate in the hope of pulling over a winnable candidate like [[Francis George (politician)|Francis George]] or [[P. C. Joseph]] from Kerala Congress, who were spearheading the protests against the Kasturirangan Report. But [[Francis George (politician)|Francis George]] openly refused the offer to contest under the LDF banner.

Finally Mr. Joice George, an advocate of 'Highrange Samrakshana Samiti', the forum set up against Kasturirangan Report, was fielded as LDF candidate and he went on to win the election banking on the sentiment against Kasturirangan Report.

Just before 2014 Lok Sabha elections, on 11 March 2014, a few members led by Noble Mathew left [[Kerala Congress (Mani)]] and form new fractional party named as [[Kerala Congress(Nationalist)]]. This party is in alliance with BJP led National Democratic Alliance.

=== 2015 Split - Revival of Kerala Congress (Secular) And Kerala Janapaksham (Secular) ===
On 2015 [[P. C. George]] left [[Kerala Congress (M)]] and Revived [[Kerala Congress (Secular)]] However before [[2016 Kerala Legislative Assembly election]] P.C George Oust from the party. All members of [[Kerala Congress (Secular)]] merged with [[Kerala Congress (M)]] , NCP and other Kerala Congress Parties.

So P.C George formed [[Kerala Janapaksham (Secular)]] .

===Revival of [[Kerala Congress]] (2016) ===
On 2015 [[Kerala Congress (Anti-merger Group)]] split and formed [[Kerala Congress (Skaria Thomas)]] fraction led by skaria Thomas and [[Kerala Congress (Thomas)]] led by P.C Thomas. On 2016 Thomas receives permission from Election commission of India to Use [[Kerala Congress]] name and its symbol(whenever party recognized as state or national party) So Thomas Dissolved [[Kerala Congress (Thomas)]] and Revived Parent [[Kerala Congress]].

So Again [[Kerala Congress]] became active political party in Kerala since 2016

===2016 Split - Janadhipathya Kerala Congress===
[[File:Francis George at Arakuzha.JPG|thumb|[[Francis George (politician)|Francis George]], Kerala Congress leader from [[Muvattupuzha]] and the son of [[K. M. George (politician)|K. M. George]], founder of Kerala Congress]]

On 2016 before Kerala assembly elections [[K. Francis George]], son of founder of Kerala Congress [[K. M. George (politician)|K. M. George]], along with [[Antony Raju]] and Dr. K C Joseph left Kerala Congress (Mani) and formed [[Janadhipathya Kerala Congress]].

===2019 Split - Revival of [[Kerala Congress (Joseph)]]===
A power struggle erupted in the party after the death of Kerala Congress (M) chairman [[K. M. Mani]]. One faction was led by his son [[Jose K. Mani]] and another was led by senior leader [[P. J. Joseph]]. The Election Commission intervened and it ruled in favor of [[Jose K Mani]]. The commission passed a verdict recognizing the faction led by [[Jose K. Mani]] as the Kerala Congress (M). This was challenged by [[P. J. Joseph]] in court and he was granted an interim stay order. The Jose faction approached the [[Supreme Court of India]] and it agreed with the Election Commission's verdict.

due to the disputes with Jose K. Mani fraction in 2019 June, [[P. J. Joseph]] and [[C. F. Thomas]] revived [[Kerala Congress (J)]] by splitting from [[Kerala Congress (M)]].

== P.J Joseph Re-Joins [[Kerala Congress]] ==
On 17 March 2021, [[P. J. Joseph]] announced that his party [[Kerala Congress (Joseph)]] has merged with [[Kerala Congress]] led by [[P. C. Thomas]] to form a new party,
