    Pinarayi
    The CPI-M led Pinarayi Vijayan government in Kerala, which is aiming to create history by becoming the first ruling dispensation to retain power in the southern state, appears to have decided to field its best team for the April 6 Assembly elections. As the first step to fielding its best team of candidates in the likely 90 seats out of the 140 Assembly constituencies in Kerala that it will contest, the party's top brass is seriously thinking if they need to drop the big names, as planned earlier.

He then spent at least 10 minutes swimming in the sea before returning to the shore. Gandhi was accompanied by a personal security officer when he jumped from the boat after seeing the fishermen cast their net to catch fish. Image Credit: ANI
