Kerala Assembly Polls 2026: Land-related issues, wildlife attacks a talking point in Idukki ahead of polls
Local grievances, including land disputes, title deed delays, and wildlife attacks, are dominating the political discourse in Idukki ahead of the Assembly polls. The Kerala Congress, an ally of the United Democratic Front (UDF), holds the Thodupuzha seat while the Left Democratic Front (LDF) seeks to retain its four seats in the district. The UDF is hopeful following recent local body election victories and the BJP anticipates a positive shift with the entry of S. Rajendran into the party. The Catholic Church, an influential factor in the region, has led protests against the ruling government, citing unresolved land issues and inadequate healthcare facilities.
