If the LDF govt wins on May 2, KIIFB and Kudumbashree’s achievements would have played a big role
The interface of economics and politics is a fascinating topic and in democracies, at what stage economics overtakes politics can perhaps be only derivatively understood based on electoral outcomes post-facto. The Assembly elections in Kerala which concluded in the first week of this month could well be a case in point.
This coming Sunday when the votes are counted, it is anybody’s guess which coalition will win though most of the pre-poll surveys have indicated a majority for the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) led by the CPI (M).
