First of all, I would like to congratulate every member of the Left Democratic Front who has won a landslide victory in the local body elections. This is the result of an election that has once again proved the working style, organizational strength and skill of the communist movement, one that can survive any adverse situation and climate. The secret of the Communist Party's success is the unbreakable foundation, the unbreakable commitment, the unwavering strength. Other political movements need to learn. Although the differences still exist, I cannot help but acknowledge the strength and support of the Communist Party. I congratulate the Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri Pinarayi Vijayan, members of the Left Cabinet and comrades for leading this victory.

God bless you all.

Sincerely,
Devan Srinivasan. '
