Thiruvananthapuram: The Congress in Kerala on Monday thanked the people of the state for what it termed a "thumping victory", as trends in the April 9 Assembly polls indicated a decisive edge for the UDF. Addressing mediapersons at the party headquarters here, KPCC president Sunny Joseph said the emerging verdict was a clear rejection of the CPI(M)-led LDF government's "anti-people policies".
"The counting of votes is still progressing. The present trend indicates that the people of the state are giving the UDF a historic victory," he said.
Calling the outcome a "thumping victory", Joseph said the trend mirrored the mandate seen in the recent local body polls.
"It is a clear verdict against the LDF government's anti-people policies," he added.
AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan, and senior leaders Ramesh Chennithala, Shashi Tharoor and Kodikkunnil Suresh were also present during the press meet.
The leaders also cut and shared a tri-colour cake marking the resounding performance of the party and the UDF.
According to available trends, the Congress-led UDF was ahead in at least 96 seats, while the LDF was leading in around 42 constituencies. The BJP-led NDA was ahead in two seats.
