He accused the party of only raising concerns when it's their own members facing scrutiny. Vijayan condemned the BJP's alleged manipulation of investigative agencies and urged for a collective resistance to such tactics.

Kerala's 16th Legislative Assembly's swearing-in ceremony showcased diversity as MLAs chose different languages and opted for solemn affirmations or oaths in God's name. Political rivals displayed camaraderie, and CM V.D. Satheesan reiterated his full name, addressing recent caste-related criticism. A symbolic gesture of reconciliation occurred between Pro-tem Speaker G. Sudhakaran and Pinarayi Vijayan.

Kerala's new UDF government, led by CM VD Satheesan, has formed a special committee to prepare a White Paper on the state's financial condition, headed by ex-cabinet secretary KM Chandrasekhar. This move follows allegations of financial mismanagement by the previous government. The cabinet also established an SIT to probe attacks during the Nava Kerala Yatra.

After intense deliberations, VD Satheesan has been chosen as Kerala's new Chief Minister, overcoming strong contenders KC Venugopal and Ramesh Chennithala. Key factors included alliance support, grassroots sentiment, and Satheesan's vocal opposition to the incumbent government, making him the preferred choice for a stable UDF administration.
