UDF Poised for Kerala Victory as Congress Leaders Predict Government Change

Congress MP KC Venugopal has expressed strong confidence that the United Democratic Front will secure a clear victory in the upcoming Kerala Assembly elections, necessitating a change of government. He highlighted public discontent, particularly among women, regarding the ongoing LPG crisis as a key failure of the current administration. Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala echoed this sentiment, asserting that public disappointment with the ruling Left Front's performance will lead to a UDF win. Both leaders accused the BJP and CPI(M) of colluding to undermine the UDF, a strategy they believe will fail as voters have understood this "mischief."

Congress MP Venugopal predicts change of government in Kerala, win for United Democratic Front

Congress leaders KC Venugopal and Ramesh Chennithala predict a United Democratic Front victory and a change of government in Kerala.

"UDF is going to win hands down. - KC Venugopal"

Thrissur, March 25

Congress Lok Sabha member KC Venugopal on Wednesday expressed confidence in the victory of the United Democratic Front in Kerala, stating, "UDF is going to win hands down."

He emphasised that Kerala is in need of a "total change," specifically a "change of government."

" It is a clear triumph for the UDF. There will be a change of government in Keralam," he told reporters here today.

Venugopal also said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will formally kick off his campaign in the State today for the upcoming April 9 Assembly polls.

Speaking on LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), the Alaphuzha MP pointed out that, "everywhere we go, people--especially women--are crying" about the LPG crisis. He accused the government of "totally failing" to address the issue, further adding that the government had let down the people of Kerala.

Earlier today, Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala too expressed confidence in a UDF victory, citing that the people of Kerala are disappointed by the performance of the ruling Left Front government.

"BJP and CPI(M) are working to defeat the Congress-led UDF. But this will not work in Kerala. In 2021, it was hatched by both of them, and they got the continuation of the ministry. The people of Kerala are completely dejected by the performance of the government. So, I feel that the people will not allow them to continue. And they will be determined to see that the Congress-led UDF will come to power. So, we are very confident that UDF will come back to power," he said.

The Congress leader further stated that there is not a single MLA from the BJP from the last election, and this election, they are not going to open their account.

"That is why they are having an understanding with CPI(M) to get some seats, and they will help them to checkmate UDF. That will not happen because the people of Kerala understood their mischief, and they will vote for UDF," Ramesh Chennithala said.

He criticised the ruling party, claiming that the vital issues are not answered, and now people are totally in favour of the UDF.

Venugopal is right about the need for change, but I wish the Congress would focus more on their own positive agenda rather than just criticising the LDF. What's their concrete plan for job creation in Kerala?

The BJP-CPI(M) understanding theory sounds like political drama. In Kerala, it's always a direct fight between UDF and LDF. Let's see if Rahul Gandhi's campaign can actually connect with the youth this time.

As a Keralite living in Bangalore, I hear the same from my family back home. People are fed up with daily struggles. Hoping for a government that delivers on basic amenities. 🙏

Confident predictions before elections are standard. The real question is development. Both fronts have had their chances. Who has the better vision for the future of our state?

The mention of women crying about LPG is so true and powerful. It's the women who manage the households and feel these policy failures most acutely. This election will be decided in the kitchen.
