BJP MLA V Muraleedharan has publicly accused the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) of exerting control over the newly formed Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) government in Kerala. He pointed out that the three-day delay in portfolio allocation following the cabinet's swearing-in ceremony suggests that the IUML is pressuring Chief Minister VD Satheesan. Muraleedharan emphasized the need for equitable representation in the cabinet, noting that out of 21 ministers, 12 are from minority communities, which he believes could lead to the neglect of the majority community. Additionally, he called for the withdrawal of legal cases against Sabarimala devotees and criticized the CPI(M) for its stance on the singing of Vande Mataram during the oath-taking. The 16th Kerala Legislative Assembly has commenced its session, with the BJP marking a historic win by securing three seats for the first time, while the UDF won 102 seats in the recent elections.
