UDF guards terrain as Left looks to expand
The Hindu
Changed equations, recent developments are bound to reflect on the hustings here
As the heat of campaign battles outstrips the summer heat in Kottayam, the question being asked is whether the Left Democratic Front’s gains in the region are far more durable than just a local body election. Emboldened by the entry of Kerala Congress (M) into its fold, the Left coalition has laid out an ambitious expansion plan for the rubber heartland this time. The United Democratic Front, on the other hand, counts on a consistent yet narrow margin to maintain the upper hand once again. The National Democratic Alliance, meanwhile, hopes to align the electorate in at least one seat around a choice other than the UDF and the LDF.More Related News
