Nayanar of CPI(M) was sworn in, revoking President's rule.https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/states/story/19800215-victory-of-cpi-m-led-ldf-in-kerala-elections-manifests-swing-away-from-congressi-806437-2014-02-10 Victory of CPI-M-led LDF in Kerala elections manifests swing away from Congress(I) 10 February 2014 Amarnath K. Menon India Today en 2019-05-26 Withdrawal of support Despite the thumping majority for the LDF in the Assembly, the Nayanar government’s majority depended on the support of 21 members of the Congress (U), led by A. K. Antony, as well as eight members of the Mani faction of the Kerala Congress. Both of these factions had trouble with the CPI (M) style of rule, and withdrew their support on 16 October 1981, leading to Nayanar’s resignation 4 days later. Formation of new government Following two months of uncertainty, Congress (S) decided to support Congress (Indira), and an eight-member ministry was formed on 28 December 1981, with K. Karunakaran, of Indira-Congress, at the helm. It was the twelfth ministry in Kerala. However Karunakaran couldn’t build a comfortable majority either, as troubles began to rise as the Congress (S) split into two factions, 16 members joining the Antony group and six remaining as members of the Chacko group, along with a split in Janata Party. With these shifts, the Assembly was divided exactly down the middle, with the ruling front of the Congress and the CPI (M)-led Opposition both having 70 MLAs each. The only vote that shifted the balance was Speaker A. C. Jose’s. His casting vote, exercised eight times, was the only thing that kept the Karunakaran government in power for nearly three months. The deadlock finally came to an end when Lonappan Nambadan, a founder-member of the Kerala Congress – then allied with the ruling United Democratic Front – voted against the government. On 17 March 1982, the Karunakaran government resigned and the Assembly was dissolved. The state came under President’s rule for the eighth time, forcing an interim election in 1982.Kerala Chronicles: How an Assembly Speaker kept a Congress govt afloat for 3 months in 1982 https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/kerala-chronicles-how-assembly-speaker-kept-congress-govt-afloat-3-months-1982-63902 2020-09-04 www.thenewsminute.com 19 June 2017 References External links Kerala Assembly Election DATABASE Kerala Category:State Assembly elections in Kerala Category:1980s in Kerala
