New Delhi: The CPI(M) said on Friday that price rise and corruption were major factors in the Assembly polls and claimed that these issues have worked in favour of the Left in Kerala and against the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu. 'The popular outrage against high-level corruption and the strong urge for a corruption-free government has definitely worked in favour of the LDF' in Kerala, CPI(M) General Secretary Prakash Karat said in an article in the latest issue of party organ 'People's Democracy'.
He said the election campaign in Kerala also brought out 'another significant fact' that there was 'no visible anti-incumbency feeling against the LDF government' which was noted 'even by the media hostile to the Left'.
'In the absence of any serious discontent among the people about the performance of the LDF government, the Congress-led UDF is banking upon the caste and communal organisations to rally support for them,' Karat said, adding that Kerala also saw 'the flow of money and liquor on a scale not seen before.'
