Thiruvanthpuram, March 20

Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi expressed support for the United Democratic Front in Kerala, stating that the alliance represents the aspirations of the people and is prepared for the upcoming Assembly elections.

In a post on X, Gandhi wrote, "Team UDF is Team Keralam. Each candidate reflects the voice, the aspirations and the trust of the people of Keralam. This is a collective of experienced leaders and young change-makers - a strong team of men and women who understand the intricacies of the constituencies they represent. For me, Keralam is home, and the people of Keralam are family. I owe a great debt to the people for everything they have taught me and for the love and warmth they have embraced me with - I will always be your partner."

He added, "The message from Keralam is clear - the people are ready for change, they seek a government that listens, understands, and delivers with honesty. Along with the coming UDF government, I will do everything to help build a better future for this beautiful state. Keralam will win. UDF will lead."

The remarks come a day after the Congress party completed its candidate selection for the Kerala Assembly elections. Leader of Opposition VD Satheesan said the party has finalised candidates for all 95 seats it is contesting. "We have decided on all 95 candidates in the Kerala Assembly elections... We declared 55 seats the day before yesterday, and we decided on the rest of the 40 seats now. The selection of the candidates is over, now we are going to campaign," he said.

As a Keralite, I appreciate Rahul Gandhi calling Kerala his home. But sentiments aside, we need concrete plans. What is the UDF's roadmap for addressing the NRI remittance slowdown and creating jobs for our educated youth? That's what will win votes.

Team Keralam sounds good, but the candidate selection is key. Hope they have chosen clean, accessible candidates and not just party loyalists. The last UDF term had too many controversies. Need a clean government this time.

The mention of a mix of experienced leaders and young change-makers is promising! Kerala's politics needs fresh energy and new ideas, especially for the digital economy and sustainable development. Wishing all candidates the best! ✨

Watching from abroad. Kerala's elections are always fascinating. The state has high literacy and voter awareness. The "ready for change" narrative is powerful, but the incumbent LDF has a strong machinery. Will be a close fight.

Respectfully, I feel this is just election rhetoric. Every party says "the people are ready for change." As a voter, I want to see the manifestos first. What are the specific promises on healthcare, women's safety, and support for farmers? Actions speak louder than posts on X.
