In a significant political development in Kerala, PM Sudhakaran, the General Secretary of the Wayanad District Congress Committee, has resigned from the Congress party and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This move is seen as a major setback for the Congress in the region, especially ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in 2024. Sudhakaran cited the lack of accessibility of Rahul Gandhi, noting that Gandhi visited Wayanad, his constituency, only 8-9 times in the last five years, as a key reason for his defection.
