V D Satheesan does not exercise control over either the Congress organisation or his council of ministers
Over its first 100 days
in office, the Congress-led UDF government in Kerala is
yet to leave a decisive imprint on several key policy matters, reflecting the
political and organisational constraints facing Chief
Minister V D Satheesan.
Chief Minister does not
exercise control over either the Congress organisation or his council of
ministers. Differences within the ruling front have delayed decisions on issues
such as PM SHRI and the reconstitution of the Waqf Board.
Some of Satheesan’s
Congress colleagues have also publicly declared their loyalty to AICC general
secretary K C Venugopal, whom they credit with architecting the UDF’s historic
victory, winning 102 of the 140 Assembly seats.
