The Congress party in Kerala is on the cusp of announcing its chief minister after a key meeting in Delhi. The party has reportedly reached a consensus on the decision, with three frontrunners - KC Venugopal, VD Satheesan, and Ramesh Chennithala - in the running.
While the suspense continues, several Congress leaders from Kerala have headed to Delhi to discuss and pick the new leadership of the state. The discussions were expected to take place on Tuesday, with former Congress Kerala chiefs K Muraleedharan and VM Sudheeran confirming their attendance.
Meanwhile, in Tamil Nadu, actor-politician C Joseph Vijay, also known as 'Thalapathy' Vijay, took oath as chief minister on May 10. Since then, he has issued several orders, including the closure of 717 TASMAC liquor shops located within 500 meters of places of worship, educational institutions, and bus stations.
