The Indian National League (INL), part of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in Kerala, has criticized the remarks made by Vellappally Natesan, the general secretary of the SNDP Yogam, claiming they alienated minority communities during the recent Assembly elections. INL State president Ahammad Devarkovil and State general secretary Kassim Irikkoor expressed that the election results reflect widespread anger towards certain LDF leaders. They noted a significant erosion of votes in the Kozhikode South constituency, where Mr. Ahammad Kovil contested. The INL leaders highlighted that the LDF failed to learn from its previous electoral setbacks in the Lok Sabha elections and local body polls, resulting in stronger pro-UDF and anti-Left sentiments. They asserted that the LDF's deviation from its foundational Left and socialist values has further alienated its support base.
