Left Democratic Front (LDF) convener E.P. Jayarajan appeared to have put the ruling front in a spot on polling day after he admitted somewhat ill-timely that he had met BJP’s Kerala in-charge Prakash Javadekar in the company of self-styled power broker T.G. Nandakumar.
The Congress seized on the “disclosure” to supercharge its election-day campaign that the LDF was in a tacit alliance with the BJP to disadvantage the UDF in Kerala.
Signs of exasperation seemed to emanate from the top CPI(M) leadership.
