THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Whether the huge mandate in favour of Pinarayi Vijayan was a rejection of the dynastic politics in the state as well? Well, not almost but partially. Out of the 25 families which sought mandate in the 2021 assembly elections in Kerala, 14 families lost out in the race in the state while 11 tasted success. In two constituencies- Pala and Chavara- the people have no other option but to choose one of the wards of the politically families as both rival candidates were from political families.
The results of the assembly elections have left the political dynasties battered and mauled especially in the opposition which fielded children from 15 political families and 11 of them lost the elections, while the LDF which pitted 10 wards of the political families, has lost only three children of the political families and seven of them won the elections.
Though the state Assembly had a legacy of accommodating sons and daughters of various politicians in these years, it is for the first time that a father-in-law and son-in-law are together becoming part of the House.
