UDF to Decide on Action Against MLA After Bail Decision

KOCHI, India – December 3, 2025 – The United Democratic Front (UDF) will determine its course of action regarding Palakkad MLA Rahul Mamkootathil, who is facing rape charges, following the Principal Sessions Court in Thiruvananthapuram’s decision on his bail plea.

UDF convener and MP, Adoor Prakash, made the announcement in Kochi on Wednesday after unveiling the Ernakulam district manifesto of the UDF. He assured reporters that “good news” would follow the court’s ruling.

Mr. Prakash confirmed he had discussed the situation with Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president Sunny Joseph in light of a new sexual assault complaint e-mailed to Mr. Joseph on Tuesday. He emphasized that Mr. Joseph promptly forwarded the complaint to the police, as the Congress party lacks an internal commission of inquiry for such matters, unlike the CPI(M).

When questioned about whether Mr. Mamkootathil should resign from his MLA post, Mr. Prakash noted that the decision ultimately rested with the people of Palakkad who elected him. He also alluded to other unnamed CPI(M) leaders facing similar accusations who have not stepped down.
