    SOCIAL MEDIA STARS: KERALA Two people whose reach goes beyond Kerala and its politics — Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and BJP’s surprise candidate for the Thiruvananthapuram Assembly constituency former cricketer S Sreesanth — lead the Twitter charts in the state. Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and BJP state president K Rajasekaran are also active, often tweeting in Malayalam. Due to long-standing alliances in the state, the United Democratic Front (UDF) led by the Congress has a handle of its own, in addition to independent handles of the parties.

There was a prominent politician, Professor AV Thamarakshan, in Kerala. Could you please provide details of his political activities? 2. Please advise whether he or his party are in power currently in Kerala. 3. Please advise whether there is any evidence that Thamarakshan was involved in Hindu religious extremism? 4.

  • Munnar Tea Plantation Workers End Nineday Strike
    Munnar Tea Plantation Workers End Nine­Day Strike Kerala | Press Trust of India | Updated: September 13, 2015 22:57 IST Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and Labour Minister Shibu Baby John during a meeting over the Munnar strike issue at Ernakulam Guest house in Kochi on Sunday. (Press Trust of India photo) Kochi/Munnar: The nine­day agitation by women tea plantation workers in Munnar ended today with the management of Kanan Devan Hills Plantations company agreeing to the agitators' major demands in a marathon discussion chaired by Chief Minister Oommen Chandy. Talking to reporters after the parleys, Mr Chandy said that though the management had raised "certain technical and economic issues" regarding the agitators' demand for 20 per cent bonus, they had agreed with the government's position on the matter. "The management said it would accept it as a special case if the government declares that 8.33 per cent bonus and 11.67 ex gratia (total 20 per cent) will be given to the workers. "Based on this understanding, all the stakeholders, including approved trade unions, representatives of the agitating women and elected representatives of the people, reached an agreement," Mr Chandy said. Regarding the plantation workers' demand for a hike in wages, the chief minister said that "a meeting of the Plantation Labour Committee will be convened on September 26 and the issue will be addressed through that mechanism". State Labour Minister Shibu Baby John will attend the meeting, Mr Chandy said. Several rounds of separate discussions were held in Kochi since morning between the government, the company's management and representatives of workers after which a final, consensus decision was arrived at in the presence of the Chief Minister.

  • The Kerala Election: a Shift to the Left – and a Move to the Right
    The Kerala election: A shift to the left – and a move to the right blogs.lse.ac.uk/southasia/2016/05/26/the-kerala-election-a-shift-to-the-left-and-a-move-to-the-right/ 2016-5-26 Last week Kerala’s electoral pendulum swung to once again favour the Left Democratic Front over the Congress-led United Democratic Front.
