Kerala CM Swearing-In Nears Amid Alliance Pressure And Political Debate

Congress leader V. D. Satheesan is set to take oath as the new Chief Minister of Kerala on May 18, as intense discussions continue over the composition of the new cabinet. Senior Congress leader K. C. Venugopal held consultations with Satheesan and other party leaders, including Ramesh Chennithala, to finalise ministerial positions. Alliance partners have also stepped up pressure over cabinet representation, with coalition allies demanding a greater share of ministerial berths. Amid speculation of internal differences, Satheesan dismissed reports of a rift with Venugopal, saying all organisational and cabinet decisions were being taken collectively through consultations. #Kerala #KeralaPolitics #Congress #KeralaCM #KCVenugopal #VDSatheesan #RahulGandhi #RameshChennithala #KSudhakaran #congresscrisis
