LDF playing second fiddle to Sangh Parivar's agenda, he says
The ‘narcotic jihad’ controversy continued to ripple through Kerala politics and made its reverberations felt across the polity again on Thursday.
Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan said the onus was on Jose. K. Mani of the Kerala Congress (M), a recent LDF partner, to clarify whether he agreed with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's stance on narcotic jihad.

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.
