“Some childhood memories rarely ever leave,” said 52-year-old Sai Kiran, standing next to his visibly emotional 75-year-old mother, Chandrika, in the courtyard of their home in Palappuram, near Ottapalam.
Kiran was just 12 when he witnessed a moment that would stay with him for life: his father, Puthur Valappil Gangadharan, breaking down after selling the possession he cherished the most: his 1958 #RoyalEnfield Bullet, that had once been the pride of the family.
More than four decades later, that memory has come full circle.
Kiran, an #LDF councillor of Ottapalam municipality, managed to trace and get back the very motorcycle his father had reluctantly sold during a financial crisis in 1985.

#KeralaElections | A detailed analysis shows the ruling Left front enjoys considerable backing in close to 35% of seats while the opposition front can claim similar dominance in only about half.
Of the 140 seats that go into polls, a large chunk of 51 seats have remained with the #LDF in all three elections—2011, 2016 and 2021. Of these, #CPM holds considerable sway in 39 seats, while 12 remain #CPI fortresses.

"Male supremacy is the cornerstone of all political parties and we are not surprised by their decision to deny tickets to women this time"
If major political parties walked the talk on the 33 percent women's reservation, then #Kerala would get 47 women lawmakers in the 2026 assembly.
The hopes seem to be unrealistic as the top three political coalitions in the state - the #LDF headed by Communist Party of India (Marxist), the #UDF led by #Congress and the #NDA led by #BharatiyaJanataParty - have jointly fielded only 39 women candidates. Only a handful of them stand a chance of emerging victorious.

"As election heat surges, the government’s Messi ‘mess-up’ has emerged as a talking point."
In what could be called a first in #Kerala’s electoral history, a global football icon has entered campaign rhetoric. #LionelMessi is back as the talk of the town.
The Opposition has invoked the Atomic Flea to target the #LDF government. The state government had earlier announced that Messi would visit Kerala and play two matches. Extensive preparations were made, but the hyped visit did not materialise.
The Opposition has since accused the government of staging a “publicity stunt” and misusing public funds.

#Kerala | When #LDF candidate U Prathibha was recently forced to respond to a #UDF leader’s sexually derogatory remark during her Kayamkulam campaign, the moment cut sharply through the usual buzz of electioneering.
It was not just a rebuttal. It was a confrontation with a kind of politics that deviates from political issues and trespasses into personal space. What followed was not confined to one candidate or one constituency.
Similar accounts began surfacing — of women candidates navigating coordinated online abuse, public insults, and persistent attempts to undermine their credibility through character attacks rather than political critique.

A miscalculated impact of raids on former #Kerala Chief Minister #PinarayiVijayan?
“However, what they failed to realise is that, in times of attack against the party and its leadership, the #CPM naturally functions as a united force.”
After #LDF's crushing defeat in the recent assembly elections, the CPM was grappling with internal discontent, with criticism indirectly directed at Pinarayi Vijayan during election review meetings at lower committees.
However, the raids on the former CM's houses have transformed him from a poll villain into a rallying point for the CPM. Take a look on how all this happened:
