All India Congress Committee general secretary K.C. Venugopal on April 27 accused the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI (M)] of hijacking the election machinery, a day after Kerala witnessed a poll process that recorded a considerably lower turnout than what was expected during the initial stages of the exercise.
He expressed confidence that the United Democratic Front (UDF) would secure a clean sweep by winning all 20 Lok Sabha seats, despite what he described as an orchestrated attempt made to suppress polling percentage for the benefit of the Left Democratic Front (LDF).
