The political suspense in Kerala continues as the Congress faces delays in choosing the state's next chief minister, sparking tensions within the United Democratic Front (UDF) and drawing warnings from its key ally, the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Congress leaders, after discussions with top contenders, face growing impatience from party members and the public, reminiscent of similar scenarios recently observed during Karnataka's and Rajasthan's leadership selections.
The IUML expressed strong dissatisfaction with the delay, which they argue could bring political repercussions, while Congress officials stress that this process is part of a democratic decision-making approach.
