UDF dismantles LDF’s 10-yr dominance in Kerala; ‘Will form govt in 10 days,’ says K Muraleedharan – The Economic Times Video
The Congress-led UDF returned to government in Kerala on Monday after a 10-year gap, launching a larger-than-expected anti-incumbency wave against the Pinarayi Vijayan government across the state. UDF won 102 seats in the 140-member legislative assembly. The magnitude of the victory surprised even the winners. The key factor contributing to the crushing of the LDF is considered to be communal anger at what his rivals described as Pinarayi Vijayan’s “despotic” tendencies, especially the LDF’s victory in the 2021 assembly election. At the same time, the BJP made a breakthrough by winning three seats. Congress leader K. Muraleedharan said, “When we expected 100 due to anti-incumbency wave, we got 102. Even local CPM workers voted in favor of UDF.” he said.
