Eminent political scientist J Prabhash explains why the Congress-led alliance won so comprehensively in Kerala and why it will need to demonstrate efficiency in governance very quickly
After losing the last two consecutive polls, the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) comprehensively trounced the Left Democratic Front in the Kerala state elections. This outcome, according to political analyst J Prabhash, is as much a rejection of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government’s functioning as it is of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s leadership.
