Kerala Assembly polls | Pinarayi leans on religious metaphor to claim LDF would coast to victory

Chennithala mocks the Chief Minister for invoking Lord Ayyappa on polling day
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday said, arguably in a non-literal sense, that the deities of the land would bless the Left Democratic Front (LDF). The government had stood with the people and succoured them during the catastrophic floods and later the COVID-19 pandemic. He said, seemingly metaphorically, that Lord Ayyappa, the presiding deity of Sabarimala temple, would favour the government because it had taken care of the people. Other religions also backed the ruling front.More Related News
