Why was the Congress leadership more afraid of the Muslim League than its own ranks’ reaction to KPCC president K. Sudhakaran’s statement that RSS branches were protected? Why did the Congress leaders approach the League leadership even when Sudhakaran said that Nehru had reconciled with the RSS? Why is Shashi Tharoor, who is trying to rise in state politics, going to Panakkad to initiate it? All this panic is not because the Muslim League is the biggest opponent of the RSS. Behind all this is the realization that, as a party that only grows through power, it must be out of power for 10 years in a row. The Congress has realized that there will be no return to power without its constituent party, the Muslim League. When the Congress high command decides who will lead the Congress and so on in the next assembly elections, all the leaders realize that the voice of the leadership of the Alliance will be raised there. If you look at the history of Kerala politics, there is no other party with such a stable vote bank. Something only CPM can claim in Kerala.
