Good performance led to victory in capital: LDF

‘Electorate could see through the tactics of UDF and NDA’

Having achieved a near clean-sweep by winning 13 of the 14 segments in Thiruvananthapuram district in the Assembly polls, the Left Democratic Front (LDF) district leadership said the victory was largely along expected lines. The CPI (M)-led coalition had expected to better its performance during the 2016 elections when it had won 10 out of the 14 constituencies. Later, it won the Vattiyurkavu constituency too through a byelection in 2019. According to CPI (M) district secretary Anavoor Nagappan, the electorate could see through the diversionary tactics of both United Democratic Front (UDF) and National Democratic Alliance (NDA). “Despite their attempts to divert focus from key issues, the public was well aware of the efforts that had been made by the LDF government,” he said.
