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 .

Kannur (Kerala) [India], April 5 (ANI): The CPI(M) stronghold of Kannur district, where incumbent Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is contesting from holds a hidden J factor that may impact the April 6 Assembly polls in Kerala.
After close to two decades, this Assembly election will for the first time see none of the three Jayarajans of Kannur contesting.
The Jayarajans - EP Jayarajan, Industries Minister in Pinarayi Vijayan cabinet, P Jayarajan who represented Koothuparamba constituency from 2001 to 2011 and former district secretary of Kannur along with MV Jayarajan the present Kannur district secretary who was elected to the Kerala Legislative Assembly in 1996 and 2001 from Edakkad constituency are missing in the fray.
AICC spokesperson Shama Mohamed demanded that Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan should apologise for the derogatory remark of LDF s former MP Joyce George against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. She termed the statement as shameful. Speaking to ANI at Kochi, she said, It is a shameful statement. In this case, Pinarayi Vijayan should apologise for this person. Rahul Gandhi is a man who was gone to different kinds of colleges, spoken to different types of people whether they are women or men. Is Joyce George saying that bachelors are not supposed to meet women? Or not supposed to speak in front of women? What is he trying to say? For this sort of cheap talk, Pinarayi Vijayan should apologise. Nothing more than that or nothing less.
