INDIA bloc partners trade blows in Kerala as BJP seeks to queer the pitch

The Hindu  

It is raining promises in the unusually hot summer of April in Kerala as campaigning for the Lok Sabha election has reached a crescendo. The United Democratic Front led by the Congress and the Left Democratic Front led by the CPI — arch rivals in Kerala but allies in the INDIA bloc elsewhere, including fallen Communist citadels West Bengal and Tripura — promise to restore secularism, democratic values and federal culture while the hard sell for the BJP is ‘Modi’s guarantee’. Having hit its nadir in the 2021 Assembly election after a stellar show in the 2019 Lok Sabha election riding on the ‘Sabarimala sentiments’ wave and the ‘Rahul for PM’ slogan, the UDF has fielded most of its sitting MPs for another term. The LDF, meanwhile, is not treating its ally in the INDIA bloc with kid gloves as it has put up strong candidates in all constituencies, including Wayanad, where senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi now has a formidable opponent in the CPI’s Annie Raja. The Catholic church allowed itself to be leveraged by the BJP when a unit of the Syro Malabar Church screened The Kerala Story, a propaganda film raising the bogey of ‘love jihad’.
