Kerala Opposition Leader V.D. Satheesan announced that the Congress party plans to allocate up to 50% of its Assembly election seats to women and young candidates. This initiative aligns with the AICC's policy and Rahul Gandhi's commitment to increased representation. Satheesan clarified that this does not mean sidelining senior leaders, whose experience will still be valued, but aims to provide more opportunities for the younger generation to keep the party active.
