Thiruvananthapuram: The election campaign in Kerala is picking up with less than a fortnight left for all its 20 Lok Sabha constituencies to go to the polls on April 16. The stakes are high for the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)-led ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) as it currently holds 19 of the 20 seats. Will 25,000 hits make Advani the PM?
The 2004 verdict brought gloom to the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF). But now the front is smiling, as it believes it has nothing to lose and everything to gain. The UDF believes it has an edge as the LDF battles strong anti-incumbency. CPI-M Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan completes three years in office this May.
