Trivia

Oommen Chandy was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Kerala on 31 August 2004 after the controversial resignation of A. K. Antony on 29 August. All ministers in the previous Antony government except K.M. Mani, P.K. Kunjalikkutty, K.R. Gowri Amma, M.V. Raghavan, Dr. M.K. Muneer, Babu Divakaran and C.F. Thomas were ousted. Kunjalikkutty resigned on 31 December 2004, after finding himself guilty in the notorious Ice Cream Parlour Scandal. He was succeeded by his fellow colleague V.K. Ibrahim Kunju the next day (1 January 2005). K.P. Viswanathan resigned on 9 February 2005 after a series of scandals, and A. Sujanapal succeeded him on 4 January 2006. In the interval, the CM himself handled the department of Forests.
