New Delhi: The CPI (M)-led Left Democratic Front is going to give a tough fight to the Congress-United Democratic Front coalition and the Bharatiya Janata Party in the upcoming assembly elections in Kerala, as it is likely to win 87 seats out of 140 and have a vote share of over 40 per cent, the IANS-CVoter survey revealed on Saturday.
On Friday, the Election Commission of India announced the poll schedule for the Kerala Assembly election. The state will vote in a single-phase election for all 140 seats of the Kerala Assembly. It is likely to be a hotly contested political battle. In 2016, the LDF had assumed charge.
BJP will be a marginal player, says Tariq Anwar. Terming technocrat E. Sreedharan’s entry into the BJP a “gimmick,” the Congress’s Kerala in-charge Tariq Anwar on Sunday said it would be a direct fight between the United Democratic Front (UDF) and the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) in the coming Assembly polls as the people would not “waste” their votes on the BJP which would remain a marginal player in the State.
The Congress general secretary also asserted that it was not the party’s tradition to announce a chief ministerial face and after polls the name of the Chief Minister candidate would be arrived at through consensus.
