Reportedly one of the most discussed aspects regarding the Lok Sabha elections in Kerala was the arrival of Rahul Gandhi as the United Democratic Front’s (UDF) candidate from the Wayanad constituency, which led to talks about a “Rahul wave” in the state. But a survey conducted by Asianet News, along with AZ research, feels otherwise.
As per report by Asianet News, the majority of the people who took part in the survey denied the presence of any “Rahul wave”. Furthermore sixty-four percent of the people who took part in the survey said that the candidature of the Congress President from the Wayanad seat will not have an impact on the election results in the state, and many, according to the survey, also felt that there was no need for Rahul to contest from Wayanad.
Moreover it was also found that issues such as unemployment, corruption and development will be the main focus areas based on which people will be voting this time. Apparently another major constituency that has been grabbing eyeballs in the state is the Thiruvananthapuram constituency, where it is a triangular contest between three high-profile candidates such as UDF’s sitting MP Shashi Tharoor, BJP’s Kummanam Rajasekharan and LDF’s C Divakaran.
