The Kerala CM announcement is still pending, with Congress citing Sonia Gandhi's hospital visit as a potential cause for delay. The BJP has criticized the Congress for their indecisiveness, while the IUML MLA from Kondotty assembly seat expressed frustration over the delay, impacting their ability to face the public. In Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay has secured a majority in the floor test, with support from various parties, including the rebel AIADMK faction. The AIADMK's internal rift has been a recurring issue, with two factions claiming to be the real party. The Congress is yet to decide on the Kerala CM, with KC Venugopal, VD Satheesan, and Ramesh Chennithala as potential contenders. The delay has been attributed to discussions and deliberations within the party, with some leaders backing Venugopal, while others support Satheesan. The situation in Kerala contrasts with Tamil Nadu, where Vijay's government has been formed and is facing a trust vote. The AIADMK's internal crisis has led to a split, with two factions claiming to be the real party, mirroring a previous dispute following J Jayalalithaa's death. The Congress' indecisiveness has been a point of contention, with the BJP criticizing their lack of clarity.
