"LDF will come and set right everything"..!This was the slogan of the Left Democratic Front in Kerala while campaigning for the 2016 state Assembly Elections. Now LDF has come to power in Kerala with a thumping verdict of the Kerala voters. Everything is ready in Kerala to welcome the New Chief Minister and the Council of Ministers. People are keeping all hopes on this government led by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and watching whether the Chief minister and his team of ministers would fulfill this slogan and 'set right' everything...!.
It is a proven fact that many Left Leaders who still adhere to some values and principles keep away from corruptions. But the common people are apprehensive about their violent nature and the leaders support for the atrocities carried out by their party activists and other workers. The attack on the shop owner by his workers immediately after the counting of votes is one of the latest examples of the high-handedness of the workers affiliated to the left parties.
The press statement given by the C M designate Pinarayi Vijayan on the eve of the swearing-in day today was very promising and lifting the spirits of all the people of Kerala. He stressed that the upcoming new government will be a government of all the people of the state above political or communal lines. He also warned the people to be cautious of anyone who may approach the public saying that he/she is an associate of the Chief minister. (It was very surprising and unfortunate that none of the journalists of Kerala showed minimum courtesy to thank the CM designate for the sweet he distributed or to wish him 'Birthday Greetings'..!).
