Sabarimala Issue, Minority Consolidation Led To Defeat: CPM State Secretariat
T'puram: After the poor performance in the Lok Sabha election, the CPM state secretariat opined that both the Sabarimala issue and consolidation of minority votes led to the party's defeat. The number of Hindu votes for the LDF declined. The 'future PM' tag for UDF's Wayanad candidate Rahul Gandhi had a great influence among the voters.
