Opposing coalitions in Kerala view the roll-out of the results of the local body elections on Wednesday as a relatively dependable political bellwether of the State’s voting behaviour ahead of the Assembly elections in 2021.
The results would test the Left Democratic Front (LDF) claim that it would coast to victory despite the myriad scandals that bedevilled the Pinarayi Vijayan government since the gold smuggling case broke in July.
The ruling front banked heavily on the social security benefits doled out to a large section of the population and creation of health and education infrastructure to help maintain its hold on power.
