Synopsis
Both the rival fronts, the LDF and UDF are concerned over BJP s growing proximity to the Church on these matters, but have remained silent, fearing a Muslim backlash in the polls. Their campaigns focus on attacks in the country against people of the minority communities, allegedly by right wing outfits under the BJP rule.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi, addressing a poll rally in Thrissur last week, flayed Prime Minister Narendra Modi s silence over the alleged harassment of the nuns.
Issues like conversion of the ancient Hagia Sophia church in Turkey to a mosque, incidents of Love Jihad and harassment of nuns in a moving train in Uttar Pradesh, will be reflected in the April 6 assembly polls, say voters in Christian dominated Central Kerala constituencies. Several heavyweights,including senior Congress leader and former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, Kerala Congress(M) leader Jose K Mani, a key partner of the CPI(M)-led LDF, two Rajya Sabha BJP MPs K J Alphons and Suresh Gopi are trying their luck from the constituencies, spread across Ernakulam, Idukki, Kottayam and parts of Thrissur.

New Delhi: A week after four Christian women including two nuns were harassed in Uttar Pradesh’s Jhansi, the National Commission for Minorities said the incident “reeks of politics”.
“The incident occurred in Uttar Pradesh but is resonating in Kerala because elections are underway there,” NCM Vice-Chairman Atif Rasheed told ThePrint.
Rasheed was referring to the political outcry that followed the incident with the nuns, who hailed from Kerala. Pinarayi Vijayan, the state’s chief minister, also wrote to Home Minister Amit Shah asking him to take action against the accused.
The minorities commission member further noted that while the episode appeared political in nature, he has directed authorities to file a report.
