While officially administrative in nature, the numbering system is widely viewed in political circles as an informal reflection of a leader’s stature and influence within the government and alliance structure. Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala has been allotted “Kerala State 2", while IUML veteran P. K. Kunhalikutty received “Kerala State 3". Here is the full list of official vehicle numbers allotted to ministers No. 1: V. D. Satheesan No. 2: Ramesh Chennithala No. 3: P. K. Kunhalikutty No. 4: Sunny Joseph No. 5: K.
