Trouble is brewing within the Congress in Kerala as internal rifts over ticket distribution come to the surface ahead of Assembly polls. Rahul Gandhi has reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the candidate list, prompting a high-level review by the Central Election Committee led by Mallikarjun Kharge.
