Thiruvananthapuram: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Saturday (May 15) that the effort would be to ensure that very few people participate in the newly elected left front government’s swearing-in, expected to take place on May 20.
The Indian Medical Association (IMA), Kerala unit, had on Saturday suggested that the swearing-in ceremony of the new cabinet should be held on a virtual platform in view of the unprecedented surge in COVID-19 cases.
While talking to the media, CM Vijayan was asked during his daily briefing if it would be a virtual ceremony and he said our aim is to ensure that large participation of people is avoided .

Thiruvananthapuram: A major revamp in Congress leadership looks likely in all probability. Ramesh Chennithala may follow the model of Oommen Chandy who stepped down from leadership after facing the poll debacle in 2016.
Even Congress leaders have started mumbling that people are not believing the words of Ramesh Chennithala as an opposition leader. According to them, the second term of Pinarayi Vijayan government proves the fact.
Now, the opposition will have to face a strong ruling party with 99 members in the assembly.
VD Satheesan who won the polls from Paravur four times is likely to become the opposition leader.
If Ramesh Chennithala is not willing to assume the post, he will also support Satheesan.
