Smaller LDF allies in Kerala mull broader platform, keep merger option open after Assembly poll rout

In the wake of the recent Assembly poll losses, smaller allies of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in Kerala, including the NCP faction led by A.K. Saseendran, Congress (Secular), and Indian Socialist Janata Dal, are contemplating the formation of a broader political platform. This move aims to strengthen their political presence while still being part of the LDF coalition. The discussions around a possible merger signify a strategic shift in Kerala's political landscape and could impact future elections.
