The Congress high drama might have just begun in Kerala.
Malikarjun Kharge is reportedly unhappy over the alleged sidelining of backward castes and Dalits in the allocation of portfolios
This line goes well with the ground reality and power politics in Kerala.
It's God's own 'Sickular' world here -- the intellectual Silence is quite eloquent as 54 per cent of majority Hindus are well "unrepresented" in the cabinet led by Congress party.
"Imagine this imbalance in reverse," a question or a general query has been thrown out already.
20 Ministers 7 Muslims
7 Christians And
The Hindu population - 54%
54% Hindus → only 40% share in ministries
16% Christians → 30% ministries :::: 30% Muslims → 30% ministries
Speaker: Hindu ::: Deputy Speaker: Muslim ::: Chief Whip: Christian
"Seems like a perfect communal quota spreadsheet," wrote Krishnapullaiah Kasumarthy in Vijaywada in Andhra Pradesh.
Now come to another issue. What's common between PM Narendra Modi and the new chief minister Satheesan ?
Born 31 May 1964, the new Congress chief minister's full name is Vadasseri Damodara Menon Satheesan
Ting tong !! Ding dong bell; Sickularism in the well ... ??? And everyone knows by now - Namo's full name is -- Narendra Damodardas Modi.
Some similarties no doubt !!

There are four Nair Ministers
and Speaker is also Nair
There are six Christian ministers and Congress Chief whip is also Christian.
There are three ministers from Ezhava population and
there are six Muslims Ministers and Deputy speaker is a Muslim.
There are two Scheduled Caste Ministers
According to right wing analysts:
The 8 seats are distributed across Nairs, Ezhavas, OBCs, and Scheduled Castes — each treated as a distinct vote-bank community, never as a unified Hindu constituency.
This fragmentation is by design apparently and in a general sense it suits LDF and the UDF.

Satheesan defies Kharge as portfolio row dampens UDF victory euphoria
Kharge is reportedly unhappy over the alleged sidelining of backward castes and Dalits in the allocation of portfolios “despite the party’s repeated emphasis on social justice and inclusive governance.”
The AICC president, who was in Thiruvananthapuram on Monday to attend the swearing-in ceremony, conveyed his concerns directly to Satheesan after discontent surfaced within sections of the party over denial of key ministries to these sections, Congress sources said. The issue has triggered intense internal discussions, forcing the CM to delay submitting the final list of ministers and portfolios to the governor.
After reviewing the list prepared for submission to the governor, Kharge reportedly flagged the impropriety of assigning minor portfolios to ministers from backward and Scheduled Caste communities.
“He also expressed displeasure over the alleged withdrawal of the promised Health, Devaswom and Cooperation portfolios from A P Anil Kumar and M Liju respectively,” a senior Congress leader said. But Satheesan refused to yield to the suggestion. Following the chief minister’s firm stand, the AICC decided to stay away from further deliberations, the leader said.
