It's going to be a week since Pinnarayi Vijayan created electoral history by retaining power and all eyes are now on the cabinet composition, however, it appears things are not exactly as smooth as expected.
The reason being, the Left Democratic Front consists of 10 political parties and one Independent Kovoor Kunjumon, who has won his fifth straight election. However, up for grabs are a maximum of 21 cabinet positions, including the post of Chief Minister and three other posts, Speaker, Deputy Speaker and Chief Whip.
At the polls, the CPI-M won 67, CPI-17, Kerala Congress (Mani) got 5, Janata Dal (S) and Nationalist Congress Party -- two each and LJD, INL, Cong (S) RSPL, KC (B) all of them one each and besides independent legislator Kunjumon.
