Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala could be as close as possible to creating history as it goes to the polls on April 6 – returning a government back to power for the first time in four decades.

The ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) in Kerala, led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist), is pushing hard for victory touting its widely acknowledged achievements in improving the state’s public healthcare and school education infrastructure and its potent use of a well-established public distribution system (PDS) to reach timely succour for the pandemic-hit population in the form of liberally-packed food kits.
