A crucial meeting of the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) State committee on Friday deferred the decision to induct Kerala Congress (B) leader K.B. Ganesh Kumar and Kadannappally Ramachandran of the Congress (S) into the Pinarayi Vijayan Cabinet till December.
LDF convener E.P. Jayarajan attributed the delay to the government’s mass contact programme commencing on November 18. As per a 2021 agreement, the MLAs were to replace Transport Minister Antony Raju of the Democratic Kerala (Congress) and Ports Minister Ahammad Devarkovil of the Indian National League on November 25.
