Synopsis
Both the rival fronts, the LDF and UDF are concerned over BJP s growing proximity to the Church on these matters, but have remained silent, fearing a Muslim backlash in the polls. Their campaigns focus on attacks in the country against people of the minority communities, allegedly by right wing outfits under the BJP rule.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi, addressing a poll rally in Thrissur last week, flayed Prime Minister Narendra Modi s silence over the alleged harassment of the nuns.
Issues like conversion of the ancient Hagia Sophia church in Turkey to a mosque, incidents of Love Jihad and harassment of nuns in a moving train in Uttar Pradesh, will be reflected in the April 6 assembly polls, say voters in Christian dominated Central Kerala constituencies. Several heavyweights,including senior Congress leader and former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, Kerala Congress(M) leader Jose K Mani, a key partner of the CPI(M)-led LDF, two Rajya Sabha BJP MPs K J Alphons and Suresh Gopi are trying their luck from the constituencies, spread across Ernakulam, Idukki, Kottayam and parts of Thrissur.
‘CM only trying to create divisions in UDF’
The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) on Sunday strived to fend off the accusation that it had attempted to supplant Congress as the dominant partner in the United Democratic Front (IUML).
IUML general secretary P.K. Kunhalikutty said his party would not fall for Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan s ploy to create divisions in the UDF. The IUML had decided not to get drawn into the internal mechanics of the Congress. Moreover, it would restrict its view on the workings of alliance partners strictly within the confines of the UDF.
In a Facebook post, IUML Malappuram district secretary Sadiq Ali Shihab Thangal said his party had always strived to keep the Congress in the front. It had never aspired to usurp the position of the Congress in the UDF.
