Election in Kerala

Election in Kerala 2014 

Kerala will go to the polls on April 10 to elect 20 members to the Lok Sabha.

The BJP, which has never ever won a single seat in the southern state, will seek to open its account by cashing in on Modi wave.

Kerala's mainly literate electorate consists of 2,42,51,942 people, out of which 1,25,70,439 are women.

in last Lok Sabha elections 2009, the Congress-led LDF swept the polls by winning 16 seats, leaving a meagre four for the LDF.

Kasturirangan report came as another bane for the Congress-led coalition as it proposed restricted farming along the sensitive Western Ghats, that could affect 100 hilly villages.

The image of LDF has taken a major beating with the prosecution of three CPI(M) leaders in the murder of party rebel and heavyweight leader TP Chandrasekharan.

Key constituency of Thiruvananthapuram will see a contest among Union minister Shashi Tharoor from Congress, BJP leader O. Rajagopal, CPI-M's Bennet Abraham, AAP's Ajith Joy (a former Indian Police Service).

With UDF and LDF both equally in soup over their weaknesses, the 2014 elections might be a cliffhanger between the two coalitions which have been ruling the Malayalis.
