THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: With tribal leader C.K. Janu, whose political party is presently unaligned with any of the three political fronts in Kerala openly expressing her desire to join the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF), political circles across the state are abuzz with speculation that more smaller allies of the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) may be rethinking their future course ahead of two crucial elections.
The UDF has already extended an olive branch to its former ally Kerala Congress (M), with UDF Convenor and MP Adoor Prakash publicly saying that they would be welcomed back with "open arms".
Kerala Congress (M), now led by Jose K. Mani -- son of the late political stalwart K.M. Mani -- was a long-time UDF ally before switching sides to the LDF ahead of the 2020 local body polls.
