Kerala polls: Verdict against 'corruption' in UDF: Pinarayi Vijayan

NEW DELHI: With CPI-M-led Left Democratic Front scripting an impressive victory in Kerala Assembly polls, party politburo member Pinarayi Vijayan from the state today said it was a verdict against "corruption and misrule" of the Congress-led UDF.

"The results are a verdict against corruption and misrule of UDF for a secular and corruption-free Kerala," he said.

Vijayan, one of the probable candidates for the chief ministerial post in that state, said the decision as to who will occupy the top post will be taken by the CPI(M) and other LDF members in a few days.

LDF regained power in Kerala cruising to a comfortable majority by inflicting a massive drubbing to the ruling Congress-headed UDF, by securing 91 of the 140 Assembly seats.
