The swearing-in of the second Pinarayi Vijayan government on May 20 has marked a new chapter in Keralaâs electoral history. For the first time in four decades, the south Indian state has broken with its tradition of alternating power between two opposing coalitions, i.e., the LDF (Left Democratic Front) led by the CPI(M) (Communist Party of India [Marxist]) and the UDF (United Democratic Front) led by the Congress party. The emphatic re-election of the Left government has defused what might have been the single most important factor in Keralaâ
If Pinarayi Vijayan was duly rewarded as an individual for the LDF's unprecedented victory in Kerala, then why was the same principle not applied to its erstwhile health minister, K.K. Shailaja?
