Temple festivals have become crucial to party's agenda of resisting alleged RSS influence
IN KANNUR, politics is woven into the fabric of daily life. From neighbourhood disputes to temple festivals, political affiliations influence everything, often blurring the lines between tradition and ideology.
The district, home to the most number of CPM cadre in the country, has long been a stronghold of the left.
The district's political dynamics are, however, being reshaped. The Marxist party, known for its atheistic ideology, is now taking a leap of faith.
What began as a resistance against RSS influence in Hindu places of worship has now evolved into a scenario where temple festivals themselves are part of the party agenda.
