On Thursday, Shashi Tharoor (Member of Parliament from Thiruvananthapuram) congratulated VD Satheesan after he was appointed as the leader of the Congress Legislature Party and the Chief Minister-designate of Kerala. In his post on X, Tharoor praised Satheesan for his dedication and service, stating that the mandate that brought Satheesan to office is a victory for the entire United Democratic Front (UDF) rather than an individual achievement. Tharoor urged all senior leaders to work collaboratively to meet the expectations of the people of Kerala. The Congress party secured a significant victory in the recent Kerala Assembly elections, achieving a more-than-two-thirds majority. Despite initial indecision regarding the chief ministerial candidate due to internal lobbying and protests, Satheesan was ultimately selected, concluding a period of uncertainty. Congress spokesperson Dr. Shama Mohamed noted that the decision involved consultations with former leaders and party workers. Chandy Oommen, another Congress leader, expressed confidence in Satheesan's capabilities, highlighting his extensive experience as a six-time MLA.
