Both fronts present their respective cases before the electorateElection messaging shifted decisively to online platforms on Saturday with the United Democratic Front (UDF) and the Left Democratic Front (LDF) organising separate web rallies to state their respective cases before the electorate. Mr. Vijayan said the UDF and the BJP had fielded a profusion of independent candidates to draw votes from both camps as part of their symbiotic relationship. The Congress and the IUML had cheered the Centre’s use of federal law enforcement to unsettle the State government. CPI State secretary Kanam Rajendran said the BJP had used the Central law enforcement as a political tool to unsettle the LDF government. The Chief Minister had desisted from campaigning in public out of fear of turning away voters from the LDF.
