WITH just a few months remaining for the local body elections, and later the assembly elections, the CPM appears to be breathing a little easier as far as the crucial Christian community votes are concerned.

According to the CPM state leadership, much of the Christian voters who had extended support to the LDF in the 2021 assembly elections did not drift away in the 2024 parliamentary elections. The assessment came as a sigh of relief to the party leadership when it had much to worry about regarding the return of a majority of Muslim votes to the UDF kitty. The party state committee came to this conclusion after verifying both results and voting percentages in Christian-dominated segments.
