KANNUR: CPM polit bureau member Kodiyeri Balakrishnan has said that the party has secured an epic victory in local body polls. All malicious campaigns launched by BJP and UDF to destroy the government have backfired. Both fronts have undertaken campaigns to destroy the left front in Kerala. But the results prove that left cannot be destroyed from the minds of people in Kerala.

Kodiyeri has also opined that the final opinion on BJP’s rise in Kerala could be only said after the final results. LDF was able to secure a clear lead in villages, corporations and municipalities. Kodiyeri also expressed the confidence that this result will be reflected in the coming assembly polls also.

Kodiyeri also said that the victory of LDF is due to the pro-people policies put forward by the government. This mandate is the result of LDF's political, developmental and people centric policies of the government. Kodiyeri has said that it is a natural reaction of the people against the attempts to destabilise the government using central probe agencies.
