Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has dismissed allegations of a CPI (M)-SDPI deal for the upcoming Assembly elections as "false", stating that the United Democratic Front (UDF) is making such claims for political gain.
Addressing a public event in Tirur, the Chief Minister reiterated that the Left Democratic Front (LDF) has consistently maintained a strong stance against communalism. He asserted that the government's return to power was not due to gimmicks, but the result of its performance.
"Since assuming office again, the State has achieved significant progress across multiple sectors," CM Vijayan said. "The election campaign is entering its final stages. From what I have seen travelling across the state, there is a clear and powerful wave in favour of the LDF. People have experienced a decade of development and social security. Our focus remains on the 'Kerala Model'--where we protect the interests of the common man while modernising our infrastructure. We are confident of a massive mandate on April 9," the chief minister said. The CPI(M) is seeking a third consecutive term in the upcoming elections set to be held in a single phase in the State on April 9.
