Veteran Congress leader A.K. Antony has expressed confidence in the United Democratic Front (UDF) winning big in the upcoming Kerala elections. He highlighted a strong anti-incumbency sentiment that could end Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s decade-long rule. Antony emphasized a growing desire for change among voters, comparing it to the significant shift seen in 2001.
Antony noted a notable change in political alliances, with even groups traditionally opposed to the Congress now supporting the UDF. He warned of a potential political decline if power is not shifted, drawing parallels to West Bengal’s situation. The leader also dismissed the BJP’s chances in Kerala, stating that the state is not favorable to the party.
AICC General Secretary K.C. Venugopal urged voters to consider key issues before voting, framing the election as the final chapter of the Vijayan government. He criticized the ruling LDF for alleged misgovernance, economic challenges, and controversial decisions. Venugopal accused the government of trying to cling to power through alliances, a tactic he believed would fail in Kerala.
