Most states that went to the polls along with Kerala have already installed their chief ministers.  However, seven days after the Assembly election results were announced, the suspense over the Congress's choice for Kerala chief minister continues, with the party high command yet to announce its nominee. The Congress high command is engaged in intense deliberations to finalise a name from among the top contenders- KC Venugopal, Ramesh Chennithala and VD Satheesan - amid a fierce factional war.  The thing I like about the BJP is that their central leaders go to select/elect their chief ministers in a jiffy without any much discussions in most states unlike the Congress party which struggles to name one leader for the post of chief minister. The reason why BJP is ruling in most states today is because it's a disciplined party which accepts any decision of their central party leaders whereas Congress' elected leaders go to grumble and even revolt against the decisions of their high command. Well, the Congress party leaders should learn a few lessons from the BJP.
