Satheesan, Leader of the Opposition in Kerala, criticized recent opinion polls as "fabricated" and lacking credibility, claiming they are attempts to create an artificial perception of a close race between parties. He expressed confidence that the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) will secure over 100 seats and form the government. Suresh Gopi, MP, was also cited as expressing concerns about the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) and its potential to weaken institutions. Satheesan further criticized Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for alleged violence against opposition supporters and accused the BJP of targeting minority groups.
