How ED raids may have handed Pinarayi Vijayan a political lifeline | Political Pulse News

Published by Parlour News

4 min readThiruvananthapuramMay 27, 2026 01:57 PM IST First published on: May 27, 2026 at 01:50 PM IST The Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids on the residences of former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in connection with an alleged money laundering case have unexpectedly come as a shot in the arm for the senior CPI(M) Politburo member, who had been beleaguered within the Left following the defeat of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in the recent Kerala Assembly elections. Soon after news of the raids broke on Wednesday morning, senior leaders came out in support of Vijayan and cadres took to the streets raising slogans against the BJP and the ED. The party’s social media handles which have been silent after the defeat in the elections, have also sprung into action in support of Vijayan. After the Assembly elections, Vijayan had appeared politically weakened within the party, with the massive verdict against the LDF being interpreted as a mandate against him and his style of functioning as Chief Minister. He had reportedly come under attack from middle- …

CPI(M) urges Opposition unity, criticises Congress over INDIA bloc stance

Published by Webster

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has called for the revival of the Opposition INDIA bloc following the recently held Assembly election results, but alleged that the Congress, the largest constituent of the alliance, took a stand contrary to unity-building. “The attitude of the Congress towards other opposition parties does not help build the unity of secular forces in a united fight against the RSS-BJP, which is the need of the hour,” said a party statement issued on Monday after the Central Committee (CC) met in New Delhi from May 22 to 24 to assess recent Assembly election outcomes. It condemned allegations that CPI(M) had a “deal” with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Kerala polls, calling them malicious and baseless.

Jayarajan has clarified on a Facebook post following controversy over his recent visit to the Sreekurumba Bhagavathy temple at Kodungalloor in Thrissur district that the visit was part of research work for his upcoming book and was not an act of devotion. Mr. Jayarajan, who visited the temple recently, spent around half an hour on the temple premises and walked around the complex.

BJP alleges complete law and order collapse after murder of Suvendu Adhikari’s close aide

BJP alleges complete law and order collapse after murder of Suvendu Adhikari’s close aide

Published by Webster

The BJP on Thursday termed the murder of the close aide of its leader Suvendu Adhikari a proof of the “complete collapse” of law and order in West Bengal, ruled by the TMC for 15 years. It accused the Mamata Banerjee-led party of fostering “lawlessness” after losing power in the recently concluded assembly polls. With the high-profile murder taking place just a couple of days ahead of the swearing-in of the first BJP government in the state, all parties condemned the incident, while the Trinamool Congress rejected the charge and accused the saffron party of attempting to politicise the incident.

Satheesan, Kodikunnil Suresh and others celebrate at Indira Bhavan in Thiruvananthapuram the UDF’s victory in Kerala Assembly elections on May 4, 2026. | Photo Credit: Nirmal Harindran Kerala has long kept its own counsel at the ballot box. In the Assembly elections of 2026, the electorate of this politically alert State delivered what many observers had anticipated — a decisive verdict, where the United Democratic Front (UDF), led by the Indian National Congress, is returning to power with a thumping majority, ending the Left Democratic Front’s (LDF) unprecedented decade-long run in office. Equally notable is the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA) entry, with two former Union Ministers crossing the threshold into the Kerala Assembly. The results show a UDF majority with 97 seats (out of 140), against the LDF’s 35 and the NDA’s 3. The pattern across the recent electoral cycles tells its own story. The 2024 Lok Sabha result, in which the UDF swept 18 of the 20 parliamentary seats, was the …
