Thiruvananthapuram: Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday said that people in Kerala are seeking change and expressed confidence that a United Democratic Front (UDF) government will come to power in the state.
After successfully completing an extensive 17-day election campaign tour covering 59 Assembly constituencies across 12 districts in Kerala, Tharoor, the MP from Thiruvanthapuram, said that an assessment of the political situation indicates a clear edge for the UDF in public sentiment.
“There is a pro-UDF wave in Kerala. A strong anti-incumbency sentiment prevails across the state, and people clearly want change,” he said, adding that this conclusion is drawn from the response received from people across regions from Parassala in the south to Mattannur in the north.
According to Tharoor, a combination of factors, including strong public dissatisfaction with the government, credible and widely accepted UDF candidates, and the coalition’s forward-looking promises, has paved the way for a major people’s movement for change in Kerala.
