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. The party has decided not to field sitting MPs, while also pushing for a more data-driven selection process. Concerns over favoritism and low representation of women candidates have further deepened tensions. With elections approaching, the Congress faces a crucial challenge of resolving differences and presenting a united front in the state.
This move is a massive setback for the party, following closely after former state president Bhupen Kumar Borah also crossed over to the BJP less than a month ago.

A sharp debate unfolded in the Lok Sabha as Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi presented contrasting views on India’s energy security and oil imports. Responding to concerns over the global energy situation and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, Puri asserted that India’s crude supply remains secure and that the country has already arranged volumes exceeding what the route would have delivered during the crisis. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s diplomatic outreach for ensuring stable energy supplies. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi criticised the government’s approach, arguing that a nation of India’s size should independently decide its energy partnerships. He questioned why India should allow external influence, particularly from the United States, in determining whether it can purchase oil from Russia. The exchange triggered a heated discussion in Parliament over energy security, geopolitical pressures, and India’s strategic autonomy in the global oil market.
