BJP MLA-elect from Kazhakootam, V Muraleedharan on Monday criticised the Congress over the delay in government formation in Keralam, alleging that the party was more focused on power than public welfare.

Speaking to ANI, Muraleedharan said that despite receiving a massive mandate, the Congress had failed to arrive at a unanimous decision on leadership, which, according to him, reflected the party's disregard for the people of the state.
