The Congress has emphatically underscored that the United Democratic Front (UDF) will have no truck with the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) in Kerala despite the patently anti-Bharatiya Janata Party accord (INDIA bloc) between the opposing alliances at the national level.
Leader of the Opposition V. D. Satheesan delineated the political boundaries between the UDF and LDF in Kerala with a metaphorical red-marker by roundly rejecting Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s invitation to join him in a high-profile protest against the Centre’s “financial embargo” on Kerala in New Delhi on February 8.
Congress seemed wary that any attempt to blur the line between the ruling and opposing alliances in provincial politics would benefit the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
