In a bold proclamation amid Kerala election fever, Leader of Opposition V.D. Satheesan declared the United Democratic Front (UDF) poised for triumph after Congress finalized its seat allocations. Speaking to the press in Thiruvananthapuram, he spotlighted the alliance’s lightning-fast candidate selection, unmatched in its history for unity and efficiency.
No friction marked the announcement of all 140 UDF nominees, Satheesan pointed out, painting a picture of a cohesive front ready to challenge the ruling dispensation. Allies made temporary concessions, but the process remained democratic and unanimous, he added.
Brushing aside barbs on the Congress delay, Satheesan outlined the party’s meticulous protocol: from state screening under Madhusudhan Mistry to ratification by Kharge and Gandhi’s central panel. ‘We issued the list in just 48 hours, slowed only by Mistry’s illness,’ he clarified.
Turning fire on sensationalist media, Satheesan exposed a flurry of fabricated reports in the last two days—wild guesses on MP candidacies and phony resignation threats. He rubbished internal feud tales involving K.C. Venugopal as absurd ploys to sow discord.
‘These tactics won’t sway voters,’ he vowed. Buoyed by public outrage against the government, the UDF eyes a decisive mandate exceeding 100 seats. Satheesan wrapped up with a rallying cry: Kerala demands transformation, and our united alliance stands ready to restore hope and progress.
