Why it matters
The internal friction within the Kerala Congress highlights ongoing challenges regarding party transparency and leadership communication in regional Indian politics.
Mahila Congress State president Jebi Mather, MP, has come out openly in support of United Democratic Front (UDF) convener Adoor Prakash’s public outburst over being “kept in the dark about important government decisions.”
Talking to the media in Kochi on Friday (October 2, 2026), Ms. Mather said that Mr. Prakash is a very senior leader who has every right to express his views about having to learn of such matters through the media. What he said cannot be dismissed lightly, she said.
On Thursday (October 1, 2026), Mr. Prakash said that Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan, in his capacity as the UDF chairperson, had not taken the initiative to convene a meeting of the UDF. He further said that, as the UDF convener, he had come to know of several decisions taken by Mr. Satheesan’s government “through the media.”
