In Kerala's political landscape, the opposition Congress finds itself in turmoil after two alleged suicides of party workers. Both incidents have stirred public and media scrutiny, with financial commitments made to families reportedly unfulfilled, further intensifying the controversy surrounding the party.

The recent death of local party worker Padmaja's father-in-law, coupled with the suicide of senior leader Jose Nelledam, has compounded the party's crisis.
