Kerala's ruling CPI(M) and opposition Congress have collapsed due to appeasement politics pursued by these parties to win over extremist elements in the state. Senior BJP leader Prakash Javadekar alleged that the Congress-led UDF and the CPI(M)-headed LDF are fighting the polls solely on the agenda of extremist elements, focusing on issues like CAA and Palestine instead of prioritizing a development agenda. This has led to the other sections of society, considered the backbone of the Left party and the Congress, being "very much angry" with them.
