An uncanny storyline seemingly teeming with political intrigue played out theatrically in the Kerala Legislative Assembly during Zero Hour on Tuesday.
The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) opposition sought to put the government in an awkward position by moving an adjournment motion seeking a discussion on ruling front ally and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Thomas K. Thomas, MLA’s sensational police complaint that a plot was afoot in his party to eliminate him.
The UDF also seemed intent on portraying the ruling alliance as a hive of conspiring allies and fratricidal politicians.
