THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : LDF will register a “historic win” in Kerala in the Lok Sabha elections, CPM state secretary M V Govindan said on Wednesday. Addressing a press conference, he added that the BJP will draw a blank.
“LDF is confident of winning all 20 seats. The Left aims to defeat the BJP-led fascist government at the Centre, bring a secular, democratic government, and increase the Left’s strength in Parliament,” he said.
Govindan also expressed anguish over the revelation of Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma that a section of state Congress leaders had held talks with him to form a new party. On MLA P V Anwar’s statement against Rahul Gandhi, the CPM secretary said what Anwar intended to raise was a political issue, not a biological one.
