  "account": "Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national secretary K. Surendran claimed on October 3 that the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) and Jamaat-e-Islami Hind are controlling the United Democratic Front (UDF) government in Kerala. The BJP leader stated that Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan was \"prostrating himself\" before the two organizations \"morning and evening.\" Surendran alleged that the IUML and Jamaat-e-Islami Hind effectively run the State, despite the UDF government coming to power in Kerala. The BJP national secretary pointed out that IUML secured six Cabinet-level positions, including the chairperson of the State Administrative Reforms Commission, which is a new Cabinet-rank post. Surendran accused the IUML of making decisions on matters of governance from the first day of the government, and criticized the government for failing to extend the validity of PSC rank lists, mishandling the Sabarimala inquiry, and failing to deliver on promises made during the election. He also alleged that the government is creating conflicts to divert attention and that the IUML and Jamaat-e-Islami Hind have gained, while the people have gained nothing.",
