Congress's VD Satheesan who was chosen by the party after nine long days after the Kerala election results were declared, will take oath today with 20 members of his cabinet. The oath will be administered by Governor RV Arlekar. Satheesan, seen as the architect of the Congress comeback after two unprecedented back-to-back terms by the Left-led LDF, was considered the obvious choice by many. But the Congress central leadership had wanted another man in the top post - KC Venugopal, the party's General Secretary of Organisation, who has been identified with Delhi politics for decades.
