Kerala by-election
The by-election are over and results declared in three constituencies; Ernakulam, Alappuzha and Kannur. The last three days it was mixed reaction as to which party will make it to the hot seat. The voters turnout reported was about 72.99 per cent. Kerala has this history were you have either the UDF or the LDF and no other alternative. So who wins the election was a big question, but I frankly had no problem to guess who will make it this time.
Both the LDF and the UDF had taken the by-election on war footing, the LDF was under pressure to convert the verdict into their favour after having being washed off in the previous election. I knew that LDF had remote chances of making it this time again (Am glad that my ‘prophecy’ has been proved right). A recent survey by the Intelligence Bureau sources also read – Congress is all set to claim the by-polls result in all the three places. It will not be a huge margin, but still the UDF will have lot to celebrate after the election results are declared.
Having done nothing much for the welfare of the people, the optimism that the LDF was pretending to have could not be justified. It was really fun watching how these candidates went around claiming ‘how that they will change the world. People realise or may have started realising that LDF policy is all about filling their coffer. At some places people had boycotted the election totally. The LDF policy is a bane to the people, they are elite goons with laws to shield their henchmen favoring them. Undemocratic way to keep their bells ringing like; putting legal controls and gag the media. At one instance the Home Minister wanted to give power to the police and summon media men who comes up with investigative or sensitive reports, but it never worked. Its interesting to see that LDF always have something to say, today when they analyse the results they might say ‘We have lost faith in people due to outside influences’, I mean its so silly of them.
