Kerala polls: Amid reports of rift in Congress, V.D. Satheesan says seat-sharing done without discord
V.D. Satheesan, leader of the United Democratic Front (UDF), announced that all 140 candidates have been selected and the coalition is confident of winning over 100 seats in the upcoming Kerala elections despite "fake news" targeting the Congress party. He emphasized that the seat-sharing process was completed with consensus among all constituent parties, including temporary compromises to ensure unity. Madhusudan Mistry, Congress central election authority chairperson, delayed the initial candidate list release due to health issues but the first list was finalized within 48 hours. Satheesan dismissed reports of internal rift and asserted that the UDF will return to power despite challenges from "fake narratives."
