During an election campaign meeting in Fort Kochi, Rahul Gandhi (Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha) asserted that the United Democratic Front (UDF) is battling a 'combined force' of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in the forthcoming Kerala Assembly elections. He accused the LDF of being in cahoots with the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), claiming they represent a 'hidden hand' in the elections. Gandhi highlighted the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the Sabarimala gold theft case as indicative of his support for the LDF, suggesting that the LDF poses no real threat to the BJP. He criticized the Kerala Chief Minister for alleged corruption and prioritizing his family's interests over those of the state, arguing that this focus compromises the long-term vision needed for Kerala's development. Gandhi emphasized that while the UDF may lack the financial resources of its opponents, it stands for truth and has a strong connection with the people of Kerala.
