Vellappally Natesan, the general secretary of the Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam, expressed serious concerns regarding the upcoming Kerala elections. He stated that if the United Democratic Front (UDF) secures victory, the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) will gain significant power, leading to potential anarchy and an increase in communal riots reminiscent of the Marad riots. During a press conference, Natesan criticized Opposition Leader V.D. Satheesan, alleging that he is being supported by the IUML as a chief ministerial candidate, which he believes undermines the SNDP Yogam. He urged the Congress parliamentary party to make a decisive choice regarding its Chief Minister candidate, emphasizing that the IUML's premature comments on the matter indicate a troubling trend. Natesan's remarks come in the context of recent exit poll results that suggest a favorable outcome for the UDF in the elections.
