THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Lok Sabha elections are rumoured to kick off on April 16 setting the stage for a charged political atmosphere. The Governor's policy announcement speech, today at 9 am promises a face-off between the Chief Minister and the Governor. Tensions rise as the ruling party accuses the central government of neglect intensifying the Delhi strike.

The opposition seizes the opportunity, targeting the Chief Minister's daughter and condemning violence against Youth Congress during the Nava Kerala Sadas. The first session of the Legislative Assembly, starting today sparks curiosity and excitement.

In the past, the Chief Minister and the Governor faced off with icy silence. Will history repeat itself, or will they part with a smile and a handshake? The Governor's stance on anti-central remarks in the policy announcement adds an element of suspense.

This assembly session is a prelude to the parliamentary election with fiery debates and accusations. The ruling party blames the Modi government for the state's economic crisis while attacking the Congress and UDF for shunning the central neglect issue.

Central neglect, coupled with financial mismanagement has plunged the state into a severe economic crisis. The opposition strongly questions police actions against Youth Congress protesters alleging bias and widespread homelessness among the poor.

Corruption allegations and arson in cooperative banks including Karuvannur, become weapons in the opposition's arsenal. With the state budget on February 5, the assembly session scheduled until March 27, may adjourn if elections are declared.
