Kerala Politics Divided Over Natesan

Kerala Politics Divided Over Natesan

In Kerala, India, there's a big argument in the political party called the LDF.

The LDF is made up of two main groups, the CPI(M) and the CPI.

They are arguing about a leader named Vellappally Natesan.

Natesan is the head of an organization called SNDP Yogam, which helps the Ezhava community.

Some people in the CPI don't like Natesan because he has said some mean things about Muslims.

But the leader of the CPI(M), Pinarayi Vijayan, seems to support Natesan.

This is causing a lot of tension in the LDF.

Meanwhile, Natesan's son, Thushar, leads a party that works with the BJP, another political group.

So, Natesan is connected to both the LDF and the BJP, which is confusing for everyone.

The BJP also had a meeting with Natesan, showing that they are trying to work together too.

All of this is happening because there are elections coming up, and everyone wants to win.
