The ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) seems set for a season of hard bargaining, with at least two key constituents vying for crucial Rajya Sabha seats that will become vacant in July.
Given the current composition of the Kerala Legislative Assembly, the electoral college, the LDF is likely to win two seats. The United Democratic Front (UDF), sans any electoral surprise, seems poised to bag the third.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] will likely claim one of the two seats, leaving the field open for the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Kerala Congress (M) to battle it out for the second likely to be won by the LDF.
