The United Democratic Front (UDF) has released its manifesto for the upcoming Kerala Legislative Assembly elections scheduled for April 9, 2026. The manifesto emphasizes a welfare-oriented agenda aimed at women, youth, and small businesses. Key promises include free bus travel for women on all Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) buses, a welfare pension increase to ₹3,000 (approximately $36 USD) per month, and monthly assistance of ₹1,000 (approximately $12 USD) for college-going girls. Additionally, the UDF pledges a health insurance cover of ₹25 lakh (approximately $30,000 USD) for every family in the state and interest-free loans up to ₹5 lakh (approximately $6,000 USD) for small businesses. The manifesto also highlights the need for job creation, youth skill development, and support for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) with a turnover of up to ₹100 crore (approximately $12 million USD). The elections will see the UDF competing against the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF), which is led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist).
