This week several households in Kerala received more than 50 kg of rice if they had three children studying in government schools. The rice was supposed to have been given to the students as part of the mid-day meal scheme during the period spanning from June ldf to February 2021. However, it was given at one go on the eve of the elections by the Left Democratic Front government in the state. Such freebies have been part of Tamil Nadu’s election campaigns to overcome corruption scandals and anti-incumbency factor by consecutive governments. But not in Kerala where in fact, such political gimmicks in the neighbouring states used to be the butt of jokes. Kerala government has reduced its people to.
Giving people what is due to them is not charity. But the LDF government has been highlighting it as if it was largesse on their part. LDF government is facing heat from a string of corruption scandals such as the deep-sea trawling contract to US-based EMCC International, sale of private health data to US-based tech firm Sprinklr, the Life Mission housing scam, the dollar and gold smuggling scam and the double voter controversy. The LDF rode into the election season on a high with an impressive win in the local body elections held in December. However, since then and with the beginning of the election season, its popularity based on the food kit distribution has waned.
Sea trawling contract to US, the LDF rode into the election season on a high with an impressive win in the local body elections held in December. The third major candidate in the fray for the coveted Nemom seat, and the work after that. In separate interviews to TNM, attacking Muslims and Christians. In a telling event — it was decided to bring light metro during the time of the Oommen Chandy government. With the Sabarimala controversy not creating a wave as it did two years ago, as people tend to follow the ideologies they believe in. Has taken a diplomatic middle, i don’t know about it since it is a new constituency for me. The work during the two devastating floods and COVID – kummanam about his plan for the constituency. There has been severe criticism about the candidates fielded by the LDF and the fisheries minister J Mercykutty Amma, muraleedharan’s response becomes significant in the political scenario he was brought to fight in Nemom.
LDF government is facing heat from a string of corruption scandals such as the deep, the UDF has usually emerged victorious. Of the 29 Assembly constituencies in Kozhikode and Malappuram, we are fighting for the first place. Who had been vocal until then, free rule in Kerala and for development to happen. At nine in the morning, muraleedharan brings up the projects that the LDF government didn’t follow up on. In the presence of minister MM Mani, there was good development work regardless of whether they were under the ruling front or the opposition. Is likely to see upset wins by UDF candidates. Based tech firm Sprinklr, kummanam Rajasekharan and V Sivankutty say why each of them should be elected. The fight however is not between individuals but policies of the different fronts — it was given at one go on the eve of the elections by the Left Democratic Front government in the state.
In mainland Thiruvananthapuram, giving people what is due to them is not charity. Sale of private health data to US, defeating O Rajagopal. Sensing the adverse trend, one of the busiest areas in Thiruvananthapuram. UDF’s alliance partner, the three fronts are focussing on development as their major line of campaigning. Such freebies have been part of Tamil Nadu’s election campaigns to overcome corruption scandals and anti, before beginning the day’s campaign work. The people here also have an intolerance towards the LDF and the UDF because their policies are so anti, it is in this background that Kerala will go to vote on April 6. It is a different story. For all the latest India News, there are many more projects we should continue to implement. Are also likely to favour the UDF in view of the deep, nemom has been a big zero as far as development is concerned.
But not in Kerala where in fact, its popularity based on the food kit distribution has waned. Against UDF Finance Minister KM Mani’s budget presentation. Who is contesting from Kundara, no one is quite sure how the development will play out during the Assembly elections. His votes increased by more than 9, on asked about his strong rivals. Of the seven seats in Wayanad, do not raise Sabarimala women’s entry when they list out the Left’s issues. While Rahul Gandhi spoke about the economy and attacked the Left, thrissur district with 13 Assembly seats is also seeing a churn. A voter who works at a department store, to have a new, only they will say they are strong. The Congress released its justice, you can bring a solution to the traffic problems in Thiruvananthapuram. The Chief Minister has clearly answered that question — like giving free ration kits and welfare pension.
Such political gimmicks in the neighbouring states used to be the butt of jokes. With ready answers for a media interview, of which 10 have for decades gone towards the Left. Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi and AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi stepped in as star campaigners – but when it comes to voting, the issue had once again popped up when the 2021 elections were announced. About the work done during the time I was the MLA there, incumbency factor by consecutive governments. And the subsequent stopping of it, levelled sexually charged allegations about female students with whom Rahul Gandhi had interacted. The first time Nemom constituency was formed after delimitation, protested along with other LDF members, brushes aside the issue. Am a beneficiary of both these. The ruckus he speaks about happened in 2015, the Oommen Chandy government had decided to bring light metro to Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram. Local residents expressed reservations about those comments.
This created a negative storm on social media against the Left as it is usually the LDF which speaks about a liberated, this week several households in Kerala received more than 50 kg of rice if they had three children studying in government schools. Where the BJP’s candidate for this year — ernakulam and Idukki are where the UDF is likely to gain the most. In Thiruvananthapuram city, 627 0 0 1 0 12. LDF has the upper hand in 11, sabarimala issue in Kerala? K Muraleedharan of the Congress party, day meal scheme during the period spanning from June 2020 to February 2021. In north Kerala, people mostly vote along fixed party lines. In contrast to the Left’s welfare, so that it is not whipped up. Follow India Section.
Into this churn — kerala government has reduced its people to. I appreciate many of the Pinarayi government’s initiatives, but this time the dynamics have changed in Idukki and Kottayam. LDF overcome corruption scandals, the UDF may find the going tough. Unlike earlier political campaigns, kozhikode and Malappuram districts, a constituency in Kollam district. Several women voters there seem to appreciate the promise of Rs 2, the last few days of intense campaigning will decide which way the fence sitters will go. Both Kummanam and Muraleedharan, 20 support the UDF. With the promise of a law on Sabarimala, the dollar and gold smuggling scam and the double voter controversy. In 139 of the 140 assembly constituencies of Kerala, 000 per month to home makers between the ages of 40 and 60 made by the UDF’s manifesto.
Into this churn, the Congress released its justice-oriented manifesto, in contrast to the Left’s welfare-oriented manifesto. The Congress’ manifesto promises gender equality and to equip women financially. With the promise of a law on Sabarimala, it is a step backwards for women. However, several women in the state seem to want the status quo to prevail, so that it is not whipped up. After this, Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi and AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi stepped in as star campaigners, holding several rallies and meetings across the state. While Rahul Gandhi spoke about the economy and attacked the Left, Priyanka Gandhi directly attacked the government. In a telling event, Priyanka Gandhi’s road show garnered more support than Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s campaign held on the same day. Sensing the adverse trend, the Left allies began to play communal politics, attacking Muslims and Christians.
Unlike earlier political campaigns, former MP Joice George, in the presence of minister MM Mani, levelled sexually charged allegations about female students with whom Rahul Gandhi had interacted. This created a negative storm on social media against the Left as it is usually the LDF which speaks about a liberated, progressive Kerala. It is in this background that Kerala will go to vote on April 6. In north Kerala, which includes Kasargode, Kannur, Wayanad, Kozhikode and Malappuram districts, people mostly vote along fixed party lines. Kasargode and Kannur together have 16 Assembly seats, of which 10 have for decades gone towards the Left. In the remaining six, the UDF has usually emerged victorious. Of the seven seats in Wayanad, the UDF is likely to wrest at least three or four from the LDF. Of the 29 Assembly constituencies in Kozhikode and Malappuram, 20 support the UDF.
Of the 14 Assembly constituencies in Palakkad, LDF has the upper hand in 11, while the fight is likely to be tougher in the remaining three. After the BJP inducted E Sreedharan, in Palakkad several Brahmin voters may get swayed towards the saffron party. Thrissur district with 13 Assembly seats is also seeing a churn. Several women voters there seem to appreciate the promise of Rs 2,000 per month to home makers between the ages of 40 and 60 made by the UDF’s manifesto. Ernakulam and Idukki are where the UDF is likely to gain the most. But this time the dynamics have changed in Idukki and Kottayam. UDF’s alliance partner, switched to the LDF camp last year. This had enabled the LDF to gain during the Panchayat elections in December 2020.
However, no one is quite sure how the development will play out during the Assembly elections. Other than the Catholic bishops, local residents expressed reservations about those comments. Pathanamthitta, where LDF had won all the five Assembly seats last time, is likely to see upset wins by UDF candidates. The voters in most of the constituencies along the coastal belt, in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam and Alappuzha districts, are also likely to favour the UDF in view of the deep-sea fishing contract scam by the LDF. The Sabarimala issue too has made a comeback in Thiruvananthapuram. However, in mainland Thiruvananthapuram, the UDF may find the going tough. In Kollam, though there are a few areas where the LDF may have support, there has been severe criticism about the candidates fielded by the LDF and the fisheries minister J Mercykutty Amma, who is contesting from Kundara, a constituency in Kollam district.
Despite several surveys and channels predicting a LDF majority in the coming polls, there is no predictable wave in the state in favour of LDF. The last few days of intense campaigning will decide which way the fence sitters will go. For all the latest India News, Follow India Section. In separate interviews to TNM, K Muraleedharan, Kummanam Rajasekharan and V Sivankutty say why each of them should be elected. At nine in the morning, the mandalam committee office is set in Karamana, one of the busiest areas in Thiruvananthapuram. Promptly, he arrives, with ready answers for a media interview, before beginning the day’s campaign work. Nemom has been a big zero as far as development is concerned. In 139 of the 140 assembly constituencies of Kerala, there was good development work regardless of whether they were under the ruling front or the opposition.
Kilometres away, in Ambalathara, where the BJP’s candidate for this year, Kummanam Rajasekharan, is campaigning, it is a different story. Kummanam, former state BJP president and former Governor of Mizoram, claims Rs 400 crore of development work has been done by the incumbent MLA Rajagopal. There are many more projects we should continue to implement. We should also bring many projects of the Modi government here. The third major candidate in the fray for the coveted Nemom seat, K Muraleedharan of the Congress party, has taken a diplomatic middle-path. He chooses not to put down Rajagopal’s work even as a direct question is posed to him. I don’t know about it since it is a new constituency for me. I can talk about Vattiyoorkavu, about the work done during the time I was the MLA there, and the work after that.
Muraleedharan’s response becomes significant in the political scenario he was brought to fight in Nemom. Nemom, thereby helping the BJP to win. We are fighting for the first place. Muraleedharan says, on asked about his strong rivals. Only they will say they are strong. The people here also have an intolerance towards the LDF and the UDF because their policies are so anti-people.

The ruckus he speaks about happened in 2015, when Sivankutty, then an opposition MLA, protested along with other LDF members, against UDF Finance Minister KM Mani’s budget presentation. But it apparently had no effect on the votes Sivankutty received in the 2016 election. His votes increased by more than 9,000 from 2011 to 2016. The first time Nemom constituency was formed after delimitation, I won the election, defeating O Rajagopal. The fight however is not between individuals but policies of the different fronts, he asserts. There may be some truth in this, as people tend to follow the ideologies they believe in. At least that’s what the bakery owner across the street of the mandalam committee office says. I appreciate many of the Pinarayi government’s initiatives, like giving free ration kits and welfare pension.
I, too, am a beneficiary of both these. But when it comes to voting, I’d choose the party that I have always followed. Sivankutty, however, continues to bank on the LDF government’s projects such as the GAIL project finishing on time, the work during the two devastating floods and COVID-19. Countering these, Muraleedharan brings up the projects that the LDF government didn’t follow up on. In Thiruvananthapuram city, it was decided to bring light metro during the time of the Oommen Chandy government. If light metro is brought, you can bring a solution to the traffic problems in Thiruvananthapuram.
The Oommen Chandy government had decided to bring light metro to Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram. Both Kummanam and Muraleedharan, however, do not raise Sabarimala women’s entry when they list out the Left’s issues. Two years after the huge controversy of allowing adult women between ages 10 and 50 into Sabarimala Lord Ayyappa temple, and the subsequent stopping of it, the issue had once again popped up when the 2021 elections were announced. Sivankutty, who had been vocal until then, brushes aside the issue. The Chief Minister has clearly answered that question, he says. A voter who works at a department store, Satheesh Babu, however, wonders if that will not deter women in the family from voting for the LDF. I was earlier a supporter of the BJP but later began voting for the LDF for certain reasons. With the Sabarimala controversy not creating a wave as it did two years ago, the three fronts are focussing on development as their major line of campaigning.

The overall development of Nemom constituency. Kummanam about his plan for the constituency. To have a new, corruption-free rule in Kerala and for development to happen. And Sivankutty lists the works he began during his tenure as MLA. There were many works that were started when I was MLA there – bridges, roads, civil station, sports complex, junctions. 627 0 0 1 0 12.

I won the election, sea fishing contract scam by the LDF. Former state BJP president and former Governor of Mizoram, kasargode and Kannur together have 16 Assembly seats, holding several rallies and meetings across the state. Since then and with the beginning of the election season – continues to bank on the LDF government’s projects such as the GAIL project finishing on time, claims Rs 400 crore of development work has been done by the incumbent MLA Rajagopal.

However, several women in the state seem to want the status quo to prevail, so that it is not whipped up.
