Muslim League Making Decisions For Congress In Kerala, Says Pinarayi Vijayan (FILE0
Thiruvananthapuram:
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday seized on the Congress poll debacle in the recent civic polls,saying the Muslim League (IUML) was making decisions for it, a claim rebutted by the United Democratic Front which alleged the CM was playing the communal card.
Mr Vijayan, in a Facebook post, said the deplorable state of affairs of the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) was due to the shamelessness of the Congress to do anything for a few votes. It is a strange experience in politics for one political party to dictate who should lead another party. Such extraordinary and anti-democratic things are happening in the UDF.

Synopsis
Apart from Karnataka, which the party has for long considered its gateway to the region, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Kerala were not swept away by the “Modi wave” due to a host of complex factors, including strong regional rivals and the BJP’s identity as more of a party of the north.

Kochi: Around noon on December 16, I received a message from a friend abroad asking whether the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance is turning tables in the Kerala local self-government elections in its favour. She forwarded a jubilant tweet by a BJP leader and Karnataka minister, Shobha Karandlaje, claiming that “Lord Ayyappa has blessed the saffron party” in Kerala, and that it is on an unstoppable surge.

CPI(M) will not want to see a split in these constituents
A possible split in two constituents of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) the Janata Dal (Secular) and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) seems to have put in a dampner on the jubilation of Left parties in the just concluded three-tier local body polls in the State.
A faction of the JD(S) led by former president C.K. Nanu, legislator from Vadakara, is reportedly planning to hold a meeting in Thiruvananthapuram on Saturday. The proposed meeting comes when the Central leadership led by party president H.D. Deva Gowda had dissolved the State unit and constituted an ad hoc committee to be headed by his bête noire Mathew T. Thomas, MLA.
