Another shocking instance of #PoliceBrutality in Kerala. Pregnant woman, carrying her infant, was assaulted at Ernakulam North Police Station. CCTV footage emerged only after a year-long legal battle. Is this the much-touted promise of women’s safety? Pinarayi Vijayan

Deeply disturbed by the brutal assault on peaceful students and youth in Delhi. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge Ji, LOP Rahul Gandhi Ji, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Ji, K C Venugopal, Karnataka CM DK Shivakumar, and my fellow Kerala MPs as we march to the Prime Minister’s residence. India must stand as one to protect our democracy and safeguard our youth.

The Indian National Congress has placed a great responsibility upon me. I sincerely thank the Congress President, Rahul Gandhi, and the leadership of the #AllIndiaCongressCommittee for the trust and confidence they have reposed in me. This responsibility has been made possible by the tireless efforts of lakhs of #UDF workers during the elections and by the unwavering support of the leaders who stood united as #TeamUDF. I remain deeply grateful to each one of them.

The Opposition’s allegations over the tax structure for low-alcohol beverages are devoid of facts. It was the previous #LDF goverment that created the category, amended the rules following Bacardi India Ltd.’s application, and completed the process for fixing the tax structure based on the Udayabhanu Commission’s recommendations. The decision was delayed only because of the elections. Our government fixed the tax after studying practices in other states. If taxation implies collusion, was the 78% levy on premium liquor imposed by the previous government after receiving favours from Johnnie Walker or Chivas Regal? Whether low-alcohol beverages are sold is a political decision of the UDF; the tax structure applies only if such a decision is taken. Government files will not be taken to party offices. Those who increased the number of bars in Kerala from 28 in 2016 to over 900 today cannot lecture us on liquor policy. When they ask how much we received, it is only natural to ask how much they themselves received. #Kerala #LiquorPolicy #Governance #KeralaBudget

Cabinet has decided to denotify the land acquired for the #SilverLineProject. Thousands of families have faced prolonged hardship, with restrictions even on selling their own properties. The government will also take steps to withdraw cases registered against people who protested the project. We remain committed to justice, relief, and restoring public confidence. #Krail #TeamUDF

Pranamam to #RajivGandhi, who laid down his life for our country. He helped build modern India, introduced the historic Panchayati Raj reforms, and above all prepared the country for the challenges of the 21st century. His memory will be a guiding light for all of us.

The #KeralaLegislativeAssembly today passed a resolution urging the Union Government to withdraw the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, and the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Rules, 2026. These measures will adversely affect voluntary and charitable organizations working in the social, healthcare, education, and humanitarian sectors, particularly in #Keralam. For decades, such organizations have played a vital role in supporting marginalized communities, disaster relief, healthcare, education, and rehabilitation services. The proposed amendments undermine the autonomy of civil society organizations, violate the spirit of constitutional rights and federal principles, and threaten the functioning of institutions that render exemplary public service. We strongly urge the Union Government to withdraw these provisions immediately. #GovernmentResolution #FCRA #Keralam

When someone is ill or a family is grieving, they deserve empathy, support, and space. The cyber attacks following the passing of veteran actor #SalimKumar are deeply disturbing. He was a great supporter of the #Congress party. Political differences should never override basic human decency. We need greater restraint and sensitivity on social media.

Debates and discussions are the true beauty of a democracy. For our nation to progress, the younger generation must engage with and understand the functioning of our legislative institutions. Thoroughly enjoyed participating with these dynamic students at the Young Indians Model Parliament inside the Old Assembly Hall, Secretariat. #VDSatheesan #YoungIndians #YouthInPolitics #LegislativeAssembly #Kerala

A promise to the people is a promise to be kept. A real emancipation of women… Today, at #KSRTC Central Bus Station, we launched #Priyadarshini—free travel for all women and transgender persons in KSRTC buses under the #IndiraGuaranteesProgramme. This is more than free bus travel; it is a step that strengthens the dignity, independence, and economic empowerment for thousands of women across Keralam. By reducing daily travel expenses, Priyadarshini will help strengthen household savings and improve financial security. This is another milestone in our journey towards a stronger, more inclusive #PuthuyugaKeralam. Its impact will be felt in households across the state, especially among thousands of women who travel long distances every day for work. The money they once spent on bus tickets may now become savings, enhancing their confidence, liberty, and financial well-being. Our government remains committed to fulfilling every promise made to the people of Keralam, moving forward together, embracing everyone, and building a stronger, more inclusive #PuthuyugaKeralam. #Priyadarshini #IndiraGuarantees #Kerala #KSRTC #WomenEmpowerment Rahul Gandhi Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Congress Congress Kerala

We will recommend to the PSC that the validity of all #PSC rank lists expiring on August 31, 2026 — which were affected by the election process — be extended till November 30, 2026.Something that doesn't happen very often. A major relief for thousands of aspirants waiting for their opportunity.

₹3,000 #SocialSecurityPension; The government will realize the promises made to the people. The increase in social security pension to ₹3,000 is part of our #IndiraGuarantees programme and will be implemented at the earliest. Within a month of assuming office, we fulfilled two key guarantees — free travel for women in KSRTC buses and the creation of a separate department for elderly welfare. Social security pension is also among our guarantees, and we are determined to deliver it without delay. Unlike the previous government, which increased the pension to ₹2,500 only after 4 years and 9 months and on the eve of the Assembly elections, this government will keep its word and fulfil the promises made to the people. #IndiraGuarantees #KeralaBudget. #UdfGovernment Congress Kerala

If UDF doesn’t win with a clear majority, I’ll quit politics. Even Vellappally agrees—we’re headed for 97 seats. We oppose hate, not any community. Anyone fueling division will be challenged. #UDF seeks votes not by stoking fear, but by pledging to rebuild Kerala from the ruins
