G Sudhakaran NEW DELHI: CP(M) rebel leader G Sudhakaran on Friday announced that he would campaign against Keralam agriculture minister P Prasad in Cherthala, accusing him of making “unwarranted remarks.”Speaking to reporters in Alappuzha, Sudhakaran, who is contesting as an independent with the backing of the Congress-led opposition United Democratic Front (UDF), noted that he had earlier decided not to take part in campaign activities outside his constituency.“I had decided not to attend any election campaign outside Ambalappuzha. But now I have decided to campaign against Prasad in Cherthala, as he has made unnecessary statements against me,” he told reporters in Alappuzha.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Israel pounds Tehran as Iranians mark Nowruz; UAE, Kuwait defences respond to missile barrage’World’s first hit’: Iran claims strike on US F-35 lightning 2 – why it’s a big dealIran hits Ras Laffan facility: Qatar’s 17% LNG capacity gone, bn loss; which countries will be impacted?Sudhakaran alleged that Prasad made the remarks without consulting the CPI’s state or district leadership.“He is the only person in the CPI who has spoken against me. The party has not officially commented on the matter so far. I was silent, but he provoked me into taking this stand,” the rebel leader added.Prasad had recently described Sudhakaran’s decision to contest the election as being driven by a “desire for power” and asserted that voters would reject him.Rejecting CPI(M)’s allegation that he was motivated by parliamentary ambitions, Sudhakaran questioned whether other leaders did not harbour similar aspirations.“People are elected to the assembly to strengthen the communist movement. Earlier, capable leaders were sent. Look at those being elected now. I joined the party in 1963 and now people are trying to teach me about it,” he said.He further alleged that his past statements were now being used against him during the campaign and expressed anguish over attacks on his family by party workers.“These are the reasons why I am contesting this time. Even those in the top leadership who supported false complaints were not corrected,” he added.However, the four-time MLA did not comment on the UDF’s decision not to field a candidate in Ambalappuzha.“Local UDF leaders have met me and extended their support. I will contest as an Independent candidate for the people. Political criminals, in the name of the party, are indulging in campaigning. People will not vote for them,” Sudhakaran remarked.All 126 assembly constituencies in Kerala will go to polls on April 9, with counting scheduled for May 4 alongside elections in Assam, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu, and the Union territory of Puducherry.The ruling Left Democratic Front is seeking a third consecutive term in office, with chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan also eyeing a hat-trick in the top post.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

This is a collective of experienced leaders and young change-makers – a strong team of men and women who understand the intricacies of the constituencies they represent,” Rahul said in a post on X.”For me, Keralam is home and the people of Keralam are family.

Keralam will win. UDF will lead.”Kerala will go to the polls on April 9 to elect a new 140-member Assembly, with results scheduled for May 4. The contest has largely crystallised into a three-way battle between the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF), the Congress-led UDF, and the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).The LDF, led by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, is seeking a rare third consecutive term, banking on its governance record over the past decade. The BJP, under state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar, is attempting to regain ground after losing its only seat in Nemom in 2021.While the outgoing Assembly was dominated by the Left with 99 seats against the UDF’s 41, the opposition is hopeful that shifting political currents and localised anti-incumbency could narrow the gap.

Labour minister Kapil Mishra and Delhi Gram Vikas Board chairman Rajkumar Chauhan were also present in the meeting. During the discussions, gig workers and drivers stressed the need for concrete policies to improve working conditions and ensure social security. A key demand was the creation of adequate and safe parking facilities for drivers, said a Delhi CMO statement. They also urged the government to expand electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure and offer subsidies for women to purchase EVs. Farmers and rural representatives presented a wide range of demands aimed at strengthening agricultural infrastructure. These included improving irrigation facilities, developing rural roads and reforming mandi systems. They also emphasised the need to upgrade basic amenities in villages, such as drainage, sanitation, drinking water, and electricity, it said. The farmers demanded formal recognition of their status in Delhi and called for subsidies and incentive schemes related to agriculture. Issues related to land pooling policies and consolidation (chakbandi) were also raised, with suggestions to make these frameworks more farmer-friendly and effective. Gupta said the government is taking farmers’ concerns seriously and working towards solutions. She assured that agriculture and rural development would receive special focus in Budget 2026, reiterating the government’s commitment to farmers’ prosperity. She said that the government will soon decide on the revision of circle rates. Work on the master plan is also in progress, said the chief minister. Efforts are ongoing on key issues such as tractor loans, Kisan Credit Cards and land consolidation, along with effective implementation of central government schemes, she assured. Highlighting the role of gig workers in the evolving economy, she said they have become indispensable and ensuring their rights and security is the government’s responsibility. “We will address their concerns and ensure they receive adequate facilities,” she said. Labour Minister Mishra said that farmers and rural areas were neglected under previous governments but under Chief Minister Gupta’s leadership, significant work is being done for villages, the poor and farmers.

Farmers and rural representatives presented a wide range of demands aimed at strengthening agricultural infrastructure. These included improving irrigation facilities, developing rural roads and reforming mandi systems. They also emphasised the need to upgrade basic amenities in villages, such as drainage, sanitation, drinking water, and electricity, it said. The farmers demanded formal recognition of their status in Delhi and called for subsidies and incentive schemes related to agriculture. Issues related to land pooling policies and consolidation (chakbandi) were also raised, with suggestions to make these frameworks more farmer-friendly and effective. Gupta said the government is taking farmers’ concerns seriously and working towards solutions. She assured that agriculture and rural development would receive special focus in Budget 2026, reiterating the government’s commitment to farmers’ prosperity. She said that the government will soon decide on the revision of circle rates. Work on the master plan is also in progress, said the chief minister. Efforts are ongoing on key issues such as tractor loans, Kisan Credit Cards and land consolidation, along with effective implementation of central government schemes, she assured. Highlighting the role of gig workers in the evolving economy, she said they have become indispensable and ensuring their rights and security is the government’s responsibility. “We will address their concerns and ensure they receive adequate facilities,” she said. Labour Minister Mishra said that farmers and rural areas were neglected under previous governments but under Chief Minister Gupta’s leadership, significant work is being done for villages, the poor and farmers.
