Kerala's political landscape is buzzing with activity after Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan invited Congress leader V D Satheesan to a debate on Facebook. This interaction, originally intended for a digital platform, has sparked a heated exchange between the two leaders.

Vijayan clarified during a press conference that the debate was never meant to be a face-to-face event. However, in a subsequent Facebook post, Satheesan expressed dissatisfaction over the delay in finalizing the debate's details, urging Vijayan to announce a time and venue.
