Kerala Assembly Set for Stormy Session Amid Opposition Uproar

The 28-day Kerala Legislative Assembly session, commencing Monday, is expected to be tumultuous. The opposition Congress-led UDF plans to target the Left government over various issues, including the recent liquor policy controversy and their defeat in the Lok Sabha polls. Crucial budget discussions will also take place.

The 28-day Kerala Legislative Assembly session is set to commence on Monday, with expectations for a tumultuous proceeding. The opposition Congress-led UDF is poised to confront the Left government over a multitude of issues, ranging from the contentious liquor policy to their humiliating defeat in the recent Lok Sabha polls.

This marks the first assembly meeting since the April 26 Lok Sabha election results, where the UDF secured 18 seats, leaving the ruling LDF and BJP with just one each. The newly emboldened UDF MLAs aim to leverage their success to attack the LDF, particularly Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who had been vocally critical of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during the election campaign.

The session will also feature the discussion of the LDF's defense, highlighting their comeback victories in local body and state assembly elections, despite their poor showing in the Lok Sabha polls. Additionally, controversies over the liquor policy, allegations of bribery, and other pressing issues like the poor financial situation of the state and accusations against Chief Minister Vijayan's family are expected to dominate the proceedings.
