With exit polls hinting at a victory for the Left government in Kerala, the Congress on Tuesday said it expected to make a political comeback in the state
Congress leader P.C. Chako told ANI, "In Kerala, there is always a change in government once in five years. So, in spite of that, we are expecting to make a comeback this time.Every time winning or losing is by one percent. That is the political picture in Kerala."
"This time there is a triangle fight between LDF, UDF and some other parties claiming seats in few of the constituencies, this makes Kerala results very unpredictable," he added.
Most popular exit polls have predicted a return of Left Front in Kerala.
The prediction for Kerala is unanimous as all of them say the Left Democratic Front is going to dislodge Oommen Chandy's government.
Kerala, where 140 seats are up for voting, around 26 million voters exercised their franchise to elect a new government in the state currently ruled by the Congress party and its allies.
The state has traditionally been ruled alternatively by two major coalitions since the past three decades: the UDF (United Democratic Front) led by Congress party and the Left Democratic Front (LDF) led by CPI-M (Communist Party of India-Marxist).
