Suppose the UDF gets majority, who all will Minister unto us?

Is it amiss on the part of any scribe to delve deep in imagination about who all could be the Ministers of the Congress-led UDF, it it gets majority to form a Government?

Not at all, one can always speculate, and unless something drastic happens to the contrary, Oommen Chandy would be selected by the Congress Parliamentary Party as the Chief Minister. Later, he would have a hard time coping with the palmolein case, if new investigation throws up any piece of evidence to nail him as an accused.

There would be our usual coterie of other Ministers, say P.K.Kunjalikutty and M.K.Muneer and some others from the Indian Union Muslim League. Who could be the nominees of the Kerala Congress (M)? No one else but K.M.Mani and P.J.Joseph. There could be no possibility of the Congress offering a third Minister to the KC(M).

Janata Dal Democratic Socialist, the nominee could be M.V.Sreyamskumar.

What about our old war horse K.R.Gowri Amma? Of course, she has to be offered the post from JSS.

CMP would have its supremo M.V.Raghavan. T.M.Jacob, Ganeshkumar and others are also in the fray.

In the end, we would have old wine in the old bottle.
