In a surprising twist in Kerala's political landscape, senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala made a discreet departure from his home after the AICC named V D Satheesan as the state's next Chief Minister.

Reporters flocked to Chennithala's residence in Vazhuthacaud, only to find him absent. Congress associate Jyothi Kumar Chamakkala mentioned that Chennithala has transported himself to the sacred Guruvayur Lord Krishna temple, affirming his solidarity with the party's choice.

Despite rumors of dissatisfaction towards the AICC's decision, sources close to Chennithala firmly denied such claims, stating he had no intention of opposing the high command and remains a staunch supporter of the democratic process within the party.
