The 14th session of the 15th Kerala Legislative Assembly is set to commence on Monday, September 15, and will continue until October 10. The assembly session, held over three phases, seeks to address a host of pressing issues despite ongoing political turbulence within the United Democratic Front (UDF).
The first phase of the session, lasting from September 15 to 19, will see lawmakers engaged in deliberations and debates. This session is being held amidst allegations against Palakkad MLA Rahul Mamkootathil, who has been under scrutiny due to accusations that have led to calls for his resignation from the assembly.
The Leader of Opposition, V D Satheeshan, has responded to these allegations by suspending Rahul Mamkootathil from the parliamentary party and requesting a separate seating arrangement for him in the assembly during the ongoing session.
The remainder of the session will take place on September 29 and 30, as well as October 6 to 10, with the state legislature expected to tackle key issues affecting Kerala.
The political climate within the UDF remains tense, with the ongoing crisis posing a challenge for the party in navigating the session effectively. Despite these challenges, the assembly is determined to address the concerns of its constituents and work towards finding solutions for the state’s pressing issues.
