Key constituents of Keralas’s ruling Left, the CPI(M) and CPI on Monday acknowledged the need for a possible course-correction in their parties following the poor show in the just concluded civic polls, where their traditional rival Congress led its alliance to a decisive win while the BJP made surprising and significant inroads.
The two Left parties held top-level review meetings here on Monday to assess the flaws in their election strategy and the incumbent LDF government’s policies.
The poll results had come as a shocker to the ruling dispensation months ahead of the 2026 general elections, where it is fancying a third term in a row since 2016.
LDF convener and CPI(M) leader T P Ramakrishnan said the reasons behind the public response to the Left Front in the elections would be examined.
“If there have been mistakes on our part, they will be corrected. Public opinion will be sought,” he said.
