Senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar expressed confidence on Sunday that Pinarayi Vijayan will remain the chief minister of Kerala. His comments come as the Congress aims to regain power in the upcoming state Assembly elections. Speaking at an international seminar titled 'Vision 2031: Development and Democracy,' Aiyar advocated for amendments to solidify Kerala's leading position in the Panchayati Raj system.
Recalling Mahatma Gandhi's vision for an inclusive India, Aiyar noted that Kerala, under Marxist-Leninist governance, has made commendable strides towards this goal.
