They agree to share president and vice president posts between them
Nine months after wresting power on a razor-thin margin, the Left Democratic Front (LDF) was voted out in a no-confidence motion moved jointly by the apolitical outfit Chellanam Twenty20 and the United Democratic Front (UDF) on Wednesday.
In the 21-member house, Panchayat president and CPI(M) leader K.D. Prasad was unseated by 12 votes to nine after eight members of the Chellanam Twenty20 and four members of the UDF voted in favour of the no-confidence motion.
The LDF managed to secure power in the first place after UDF members stayed away from voting, giving it a marginal victory of nine to eight votes.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
