#Joint adventure again
The recent joint effort by Parliamentarians from Kerala, spearheaded by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and supported by Congress MP KC Venugopal, underscores a troubling trend that could prove detrimental to the Congress party's prospects in Kerala.
By aligning closely with the ruling party on issues of financial assistance from the Centre, Congress risks diluting its distinct identity and diminishing its role as a robust opposition force. History has shown that such collaborations tend to blur political lines, eroding the electorate's confidence in a viable alternative to the ruling regime.
If this trend continues unchecked, Congress could find itself perpetually relegated to the opposition benches in Kerala, even under the future leadership of Pinarayi Vijayan. This strategic alignment, while potentially beneficial in the short term for state interests, threatens the very essence of democratic pluralism and effective opposition politics in Kerala.
