The polling to the 20 Lok Sabha seats in Kerala in the second phase of elections on April 26 is of crucial significance to the two communist parties CPI(M) and the CPI for their future role in the turbulent post election days of the Indian polity. The fight between the two INDIA bloc partners in the course of the intensive campaign has been full of acrimony as both the CPI(M) led Left Democratic Front and the Congress led United Democratic Front were fighting for establishing their political supremacy in the state, but finally, whoever wins will belong to the INDIA bloc. That is the most welcome factor in this state which boasts of a highly literate and politically agile electorate.
