BJP HAPPY WITH KERALA RESULTS

bjp state president Mr p k krishnadas told yesterday that the party have made improvements in the vote percent in the  three assembly segments where the by elections  took place on November 7th.there was an increase of 1% in kannur to 5% of total votes ,in allapuzha an increase of 1% to 3% of total and in eranankulam to 7% from 5%.the party which have always been alleged of selling votes to ldf and udf is largely supported by the upper castes.

UDF SWEEPS BY-POLLS

UDF candidates have won all the three seats in the by poll conducted on November 7th.according to the latest reports the UDF candidates A.A shukur ,A.P Abdulakutty and Dominic presentation won the Alapuzha,Kannur and Eranakulam seats respectively.this is a serious blow to the ruling LDF coalition especially taking into account the high-octane election campaigning it did  .Kannur saw the fiercest of fights where the defeated candidate Mr E.P Jayarajan is a stalwart of the CPM.

the poor performance of LDFcan be attributed to various factors like anti incumbency,infighting in CPM,the corruption allegations against many CPM leaders and the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.

bjp which have lost its hope of bagging any seats in the state came a distant third in all these seats

the results are more or less on expected lines as Kerala politics have become so predictable.the power always alters between the two fronts which are virtually undifferentiable from each other . people do not have a choice and this was mirrored in low percentage of votes polled in urban areas(kochi).the results are in line with expectations as an overwhelming majority  is predicted for udf in the coming elections.

the margins of victory in various constituencies are

KANNUR 12043

ALLAPUZHA 5701

ERANAKULAM 8630
