In a significant move to promote unity within the Congress party in Kerala, workers have started removing flex boards and posters that support individual leaders, including V D Satheesan, K C Venugopal, and Ramesh Chennithala. This decision came after the leaders jointly appealed to their supporters to cease public campaigns regarding the selection of the next chief minister. The campaign to remove these materials began at the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram and spread to several districts, including Alappuzha, Ernakulam, and Thrissur. The appeal was made after Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge met with the leaders in New Delhi, emphasizing the importance of party unity following the United Democratic Front's (UDF) substantial victory in the recent state assembly elections, where they won 102 out of 140 seats. The leaders expressed concerns that ongoing demonstrations and campaigns could create an impression of division within the party, urging supporters to respect the party's collective decision-making process regarding the chief ministerial selection.
