Munnar hopes for stability after a term of defections, power struggle

Munnar hopes for stability after a term of defections, power struggle

Published by Parlour News

The Munnar grama panchayat is hoping for a rare stretch of stability. The last five years have been marked by political turbulence, with five different presidents taking turns at the helm. Munnar is a popular tourist destination, but the panchayat regularly witnesses hours-long traffic jams and lacks parking facilities. The absence of a bus stand and inconvenience to tourists are among the major concerns. “Even though there are hundreds of hotels and resorts here,there are no proper waste treatment plants or sewage plants. Wild elephants eating plastic-mixed waste at a panchayat-managed waste treatment plant at Kallar is a regular occurrence,” says a tourism stakeholder. The waste treatment plant at Kallar is not yet full-fledged. The number of wards in the panchayat has decreased to 20 from 21 after delimitation. Most of the voters here are tea plantation workers, with Tamil voters being the decisive factor. In the 2020 local body elections, the United Democratic Front (UDF) secured the majority by winning 11 of the 21 seats, and the Left Democratic Front (LDF) 10 seats. However, …

Kerala local body polls 2025: Keen battle on the cards in Perumbavoor as UDF, LDF eye stability

Published by Parlour News

After seeing both the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) managing to do a balancing act of power with a wafer-thin majority in the previous two terms, Perumbavoor municipality looks set for an intense race this time. While the Congress-led UDF exudes optimism that it would retain power with an improved majority, the CPI(M)-led LDF is hopeful of wresting power in the municipality. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has four members in the outgoing council, is eyeing to double its tally this time. Though considered a traditional stronghold, the suburban municipality has shown the signs of a swing local body of late by refusing to give a clear mandate to either of the two major fronts. The elections in 2015 and 2020 had thrown strangely similar verdicts which saw the LDF and UDF gaining power with the simple majority of 14 seats in the 27-ward municipality. Both times, the fronts managed to win majority with the help of Congress rebels who contested and won as Independents. The LDF’s 2015 term …

Kelly Clarkson is frustrated with her children’s school! The singer appeared on Kylie Kelce’s Not Gonna Lie podcast and revealed her biggest pet peeve as a parent. Clarkson, who shares daughter River, 10, and son Remington, 8, with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, opened up about her struggles as a working mother. “I don’t know when school systems decided it would be a good idea for families and their emotional stability to have performances at 10 a.m. during the week,” she said. The talk show host insisted that working parents can’t just show up at school at any time of the week. She explained that her children’s school often forgets to send her advance notice about events, preventing her from taking time off. Although she didn’t specify any particular incident, she described the practice as “cruel.” The Stronger singer admitted that she could still rearrange her schedule at the last minute—despite not wanting to—but noted that many other working parents don’t have that flexibility. She confided in Kelce, who also shares three kids with former NFL star …
