[edit]

In 2016, before Kerala Legislative Assembly elections a fight occurs in Kerala Congress (M) about seats and where who contest LDF used this opportunity and splits Kerala Congress (M). several P. J. Joseph supporters left the party because they felt everyone with Joseph is sidelined. The politicians included K. Francis George, K. C. Joseph, P. C. Joseph and Antony Raju left Kerala Congress (M) looking for better chances.

However all of them wanted KC(J) as their new party's abbreviation and purposed Kerala Congress (Janadhipathyam) as name. However Election Commission Give JKC as their abbreviation and Janadhipathya Kerala Congress as their name.
