Look forward to the exciting news coverage of a definitely not foreign state sponsored coup next year.
Hey, it can be domestic state sponsored coup, seeing who are in charge in India!
No need for a coup because they'll get voted out eventually and then back in.
The coalition that currently governs Kerala, the Left Democratic Front which the communist party of india is a big part of, usually trades places with the United Democratic Front which is lead by the indian national congress every election. Every 5 years the ruling coalition would lose and the opposition would get to govern, and then lose in the next election.
However in 2021 for the first time ever the Left Democratic Front won the election while being the incumbent and so has been governing for 9 consecutive years so it doesn't shock me that a lot of progress has been done. Since that was an outlier I assume next year the United Democratic Front will win but I just saw a headline of some guy saying that it could win a third term so idk maybe there's hope
