LDF Slams Congress for Delay in Keralam CM Announcement

LDF Convenor TP Ramakrishnan criticized the Congress-led UDF for delaying the announcement of the Keralam Chief Minister despite a decisive election win. He also quashed rumors of internal disputes within the LDF about the Leader of Opposition role and demanded a probe into VD Satheesan's alleged involvement in a gold theft case.

LDF Convenor TP Ramakrishnan voiced strong criticism against the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) on Tuesday for not announcing the next Chief Minister of Keralam, despite securing a clear majority in the Assembly elections.

Addressing reporters, Ramakrishnan accused the Congress of failing in its duty to the people by hesitating over the Chief Minister's decision. Meanwhile, he dismissed allegations of dissent within the Left Democratic Front (LDF) regarding the opposition leadership.

The Congress is yet to clarify its stance on VD Satheesan's alleged connections to the Sabarimala gold theft, with senior Congress figures convening in New Delhi to discuss leadership decisions after their electoral victory.
