In a significant move towards promoting diversity and inclusivity, the Congress party has announced plans to allocate up to 50% of its seats in the upcoming Kerala Assembly elections to women and youth. This decision, as per the All India Congress Committee's (AICC) policy, aims to give greater representation to women and the younger generation, as envisioned by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. According to Leader of the Opposition in the Kerala Assembly V D Satheesan, the move is not a threat to senior leaders, but rather an opportunity for the younger generation to take on new roles and keep the party active. Satheesan emphasized that the party's experience and advice will still be valued, and capable senior leaders will be included in the electoral process. The national leadership's goal is to provide more opportunities for young leaders, allowing them to grow and take on new challenges. This decision is expected to bring about positive changes in the party's dynamics and pave the way for a more inclusive and representative leadership.
