G Sudhakaran, a once-prominent leader of CPI(M), has found himself at a political crossroads as he navigates his new position as a UDF-backed independent in the Kerala Assembly. Despite past achievements, Sudhakaran asserted he won't lobby for a ministerial role, though remains open if offered.
Sudhakaran cited disrespect from CPI(M)'s district leadership and heightened cyber attacks on him and his family as reasons for not renewing his party membership. While he's uncertain if his name is under consideration for the cabinet, he confirmed no personal stake in such decisions.
Meanwhile, fellow former CPI(M) leaders V Kunhikrishnan and T K Govindan, also elected as UDF-backed independents, have been engaging with the UDF leadership in Thiruvananthapuram, signifying potential new alliances as they distance themselves from previous allegiances.
