Welcome to the official channel of Indian Express Hindi. In this high stakes political analysis, Editor Saurabh Dwivedi decodes the dramatic selection of V.D. Satheesan as the new Chief Minister of Kerala.
The Congress-led UDF has reclaimed the southern fortress, but the real battle wasn't at the booths—it was behind closed doors. We take you inside the intense power struggle between the 'Delhi favorite' K.C. Venugopal, veteran leader Ramesh Chennithala, and the man who eventually took the crown, V.D. Satheesan.
Why did the Congress High Command blink? We examine the unprecedented grassroots rebellion where the party cadre took to the streets, including the viral "No Remote Control from Delhi" posters in Wayanad. This video features a deep-dive profile of V.D. Satheesan—the six-time MLA known for his sharp intellect and aggressive stance against the Left—and explains why the ground-level workers demanded him over a "parachute" candidate.
