The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has publicly criticized the Congress party for its failure to appoint a Chief Minister in Kerala following the United Democratic Front's (UDF) decisive victory in the recent Assembly elections. P Abdul Hameed, IUML's district general secretary, expressed concerns that the ongoing delay is overshadowing the coalition's success and causing embarrassment among supporters. He noted that public dissatisfaction is rising, with many questioning their support for the UDF. Hameed emphasized that the uncertainty surrounding leadership is affecting public enthusiasm for newly elected legislators, leading to low turnout at reception events. He dismissed Congress leaders' attempts to justify the delay by comparing it to the BJP's situation in Delhi, asserting that Kerala's politically informed populace is not easily swayed by such excuses. The IUML's role was pivotal in the UDF's success, particularly in Malappuram district, but the party warns that the leadership uncertainty could jeopardize the coalition's victory momentum.
