As the pre-election scene hots up in the State, leading political parties are now cosying up to religious and caste organisations in Central Travancore region with an eye on the vote bank.
When the BJP’s Vijay Yatra reached Chengannur in Alappuzha on Thursday, party State president K. Surendran reached out to the family of the Sabarimala tantri, which holds a special place among the Hindu upper castes in Central Kerala.
During the visit, Mr. Surendran held discussions with Kandararu Rajeevaru, the reigning tantri (chief priest) of the hill shrine and congratulated him for taking an upright stance during the Sabarimala protests.

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 8 : In a relief to the Kerala state unit, the Congress high command has nixed certain party MPs' plans to contest the 2021 Assembly elections in the coastal state.
This comes after the state unit conveyed to the central leadership that the party would find it hard to retain the Lok Sabha seats in case these MPs opted to contest the Assembly polls.
It is pertinent to mention here that Congress MLAs K Muraleedharan, Adoor Prakash and Hybi Eden had contested the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Even PK Kunhalikutty of the All India Muslim League had resigned his Assembly seat to contest the Lok Sabha polls.
