THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Responding to the election results, V.S. Achuthanandan, the veteran leader of CPI (M) and Chairman of the Kerala Administrative Reforms Commission has said it has been a shocking result. He said that the situation is like giving safekeeping duty to a burglar. It can be assumed that the opposition parties failed to be united and in harmony, which led to this, the veteran leader said.

“It is a relief that the Kerala people managed to oust BJP. Also, a rethinking is necessary on how to build the base of LDF. The state secretary has said that the mistakes will be checked. There is no need to be disappointed with the result. No result is secure. The LDF has no other way forward than the one that keeps the people close, by keeping corporate models out and by gaining the confidence of farmers, laborers, and nature”, V.S. Achuthanandan wrote on Facebook.
