A crucial leadership meeting of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) on November 10 intensified political theorising about the possibility of a likely cabinet reshuffle.
The LDF had promised cabinet berths to four allies with single MLAs in the Assembly on a two-and-a-half-year sharing-term basis ending in November.
(As per the understanding, Transport Minister Antony Raju of the Democratic Kerala Congress would quit office in favour of Kerala Congress (B) leader K. B. Ganesh Kumar. Similarly, Kadanappally Ramachandran of Congress (S) would replace Ahamed Devarkovil of the Indian National League. The LDF had set November 25 as the deadline.)
