KPCC chief rejects praises, says bypoll result a pointer to 2026

Thiruvananthapuram: KPCC president Sunny Joseph on Friday dismissed the 'Captain-Major' praises that surfaced following the resounding victory of Congress in the Nilambur byelection. "I am just an ordinary soldier," the KPCC president said. Addressing a news conference after the KPCC political affairs committee meeting, Joseph described the Nilambur result as a clear pointer to the 2026 assembly elections. "It is a verdict filled with hope, and one that demands correction from the state govt. The grievances of ASHAs, issues faced by high-range residents and other pressing concerns must be addressed urgently," he said. The KPCC president also launched a scathing attack on the RSS, accusing it of attempting to erase the soul of the Indian republic. Referring to RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale's remarks suggesting the removal of the words 'socialism' and 'secularism' from the Preamble of the Constitution, Joseph said: "This is an effort to dismantle the very foundation of our democracy. The RSS had no role in shaping the Constitution. It was formed through the vision and commitment of leaders like Nehru and Ambedkar, based on thorough debates and global constitutional principles." Joseph emphasised that socialism and secularism were introduced during Indira Gandhi's tenure and remain central to the Constitution's character. "Congress will strongly resist any move to undermine democracy, secularism, socialism, and sovereignty. We call upon all secular citizens to join us in protecting these ideals," the KPCC chief said. Joseph accused governor Rajendra Arlekar of attempting to convert Raj Bhavan into a political platform. "It is highly condemnable that a constitutional institution is being misused for political propaganda. All such attempts must come to an end," he said. On the Nilambur byelection, Joseph reiterated that the Congress had no alliance or discussions with any other party. "This was a result of hard work, unity and grassroots strength. It was team effort that earned public approval. P V Anvar is now a closed chapter," he said. The KPCC political affairs committee formally congratulated voters and party workers for the emphatic win. Joseph noted that the result was a serious setback for the LDF, which has plunged into confusion and internal strife. "The CPM's contradictory statements on its RSS connections exposed deep fissures. Even the CPI assessed the verdict as an expression of public discontent. The govt must read this message and correct its course," he added. The KPCC president said the state govt reduced the PSC into a 'rubber stamp' for backdoor appointments. The KPCC political affairs committee also passed a resolution seeking a full investigation into alleged corruption in national highway construction. Joseph questioned why the state was reluctant to act. "Thousands of crores have been siphoned off with political patronage. Even MPs of ruling front have acknowledged the scam," he said.

Ceasefire next week? Trump hopeful on Gaza deal; Israel-Hamas talks in motion

US President Donald Trump on Friday expressed hope that a ceasefire in Gaza could be reached soon, saying a deal involving Israel and Hamas might come as early as next week. 'We think within the next week, we're going to get a ceasefire,' Trump told reporters when asked about the possibility of ending the fighting in the war-ravaged Palestinian territory. The current round of violence in the region resumed in March, when Israel declared a previously brokered ceasefire to be over and launched new attacks on Hamas. That earlier truce had been negotiated in the final days of former US President Joe Biden's term, with backing from Trump's incoming administration. The conflict began when Hamas launched a deadly assault on Israel on October 7, 2023. Since then, Gaza has suffered widespread destruction and a severe humanitarian crisis. Following the breakdown of the ceasefire, Israel also blocked the entry of food and other essential supplies into Gaza for more than two months, raising concerns over a looming famine. In recent weeks, Israel resumed limited aid flow through the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a system supported by the United States and involving American security contractors working with Israeli troops at the edges of Gaza. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night?

'We're supplying, as you know, a lot of money and a lot of food to that area,' Trump said. 'We're involved because people are dying. And look at those crowds of people that have no food, no anything.' However, the aid distribution effort has been surrounded by controversy. Witnesses and Gaza officials have reported several instances of Palestinians being killed while waiting near distribution centres. Israeli newspaper Haaretz quoted unnamed soldiers who claimed their commanders had ordered them to fire on crowds near aid zones to disperse them, even when they posed no threat. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied the report.
