Kerala verdict

The Kerala verdict reflects the people's rejection of the Congress' opportunistic policies. Oommen Chandy was the only leader who opposed the UDF's alliance with K. Karunakaran but finally had to give in to pressure. The Congress perhaps thought he would be an asset but the literate Kerala voters thought otherwise.

Since the formation of the two major alliances, LDF and UDF, in 1980, power has been alternating between them. This time, the vote is not for the LDF but against the UDF. The promise of creation of two million jobs, the Smart City project, an international container terminal at Vizhinjam, an LNG terminal at Kochi, and the Expressway were a few estimable projects of the UDF Government but they smacked of corruption. The LDF should take development issues seriously and revive the disappearing industries.
