Here is why parties are chasing the minority vote in Kerala's Lok Sabha elections

Kerala's political landscape is intensifying as parties compete for minority votes, particularly from Muslims and Christians who make up 44.9% of the population. The UDF and LDF are aggressively pursuing minority issues, recognizing their electoral significance. In the past, minority voting behavior has significantly influenced election outcomes. The absence of leaders like Oommen Chandy has posed challenges for the UDF, while the LDF's outreach to minorities has shown success. Church factions and denominational dynamics also play a crucial role, impacting voting patterns and political alignments.
