During a KPCC meeting held at Indira Bhavan to welcome newly elected MLAs, a controversial incident occurred involving Congress leader Cherian Philip and MLA-elect Bindu Krishna. As Bindu Krishna approached to greet the leaders, she attempted to offer a handshake to Cherian Philip; however, he repeatedly tried to hug her instead. Despite her visible discomfort and attempts to move away, he persisted, leading her to eventually push him aside and move forward to greet other leaders like Palode Ravi. The video of this encounter has since gone viral on social media, sparking widespread criticism against Cherian Philip for violating basic public decorum and failing to respect personal boundaries.
