K. Radhakrishnan interview | ‘People put more trust in Left than in Congress’ Premium

K. Radhakrishnan, a Kerala Cabinet Minister, is LDF candidate in Alathur constituency in Kerala for 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He speaks about his chances of victory in upcoming polls and perceived anti-incumbency against LDF government in Kerala
Perhaps for the first time in recent political history of Kerala, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI-M] has fielded a Minister to contest a Lok Sabha seat. K. Radhakrishnan, Kerala’s Minister for Devaswoms and Welfare of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Backward Classes, is the Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate in the Alathur constituency for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The party is heavily pinning its hopes on the winnability quotient of Mr. Radhakrishnan to wrest the Alathur seat. Its former two-time MP in the Lower House, P.K. Biju, lost to the Congress candidate Ramya Haridas by a margin of more than 1.5 lakh votes in the 2019 General Elections.
A former Speaker of the Kerala Legislative Assembly from 2016 to 2011, Mr. Radhakrishnan is no stranger to electoral politics, having romped home in all six elections he had contested before. However, this marks his maiden attempt for a Lok Sabha seat.
In an interview with The Hindu, Mr. Radhakrishnan speaks about various aspects, including his chances of victory in the Lok Sabha elections and the perceived anti-incumbency against the LDF government in Kerala.
