Thiruvananthapuram: 3-time Kerala Chief Minister AK Antony has said that the days of the Pinarayi Vijayan-led LDF government in the state are numbered and his Congress-led UDF will win a handsome victory in the April 6 Assembly elections.
"The days of Pinarayi Vijayan government is numbered as there is no doubt that Kerala will have a Congress Chief Minister... who that will be, will be decided after the elections. Cutting across communities, the common feeling that has now come out is there will be total communal harmony, only if the UDF returns to power," he said.
"I can understand the emotions and feelings of the Congress aspirants who missed out. The party high command never intervenes and this time, the list surfaced after several rounds of discussions and deliberations. I have full faith in my party workers as they are determined to see the end of the present government," he said.
Addressing the media in Delhi, Antony, who holds the record of being the Defence Minister of the country for the maximum period, contended that things have reached a stage when all want a change in the governance in Kerala. Antony played down the internal feuds that have broken out in the party after the list of candidates of his party came out on Sunday.
On the high-profile electoral battle at Nemom - the sole Kerala seat held by the BJP, he said that it is an important election and the result is very evident - that the son of legendary Chief Minister K. Karunakaran, K. Muraleedharan, who is the Congress candidate, will be the victor.
