Kerala Education Minister V Sivankutty launched a scathing critique of Union Minister Suresh Gopi, stating that he has not yet transitioned from his past as a film actor to becoming a mature politician.

Sivankutty argued that Gopi's recent remarks illustrate his persistence in acting unintelligibly and clinging to his cinematic persona, referring to political rivals as "fools". Such disrespectful language, according to Sivankutty, belies the decorum expected of someone in a responsible public role.

Highlighting Gopi's misunderstanding of Thiruvananthapuram's political landscape, Sivankutty questioned the actor-turned-politician's capability. He criticized Gopi's lack of knowledge about local Assembly and Lok Sabha constituencies and his failure to deliver as a Union Minister, warning that such missteps could lead to electoral repercussions in democratic Kerala.
