Political parties in Kerala have already gone into celebration mode as the state prepares for Monday's vote count, with workers preparing extravagant feasts of laddoos and biryani even before the outcome is announced. As the crucial Assembly election draws closer to its conclusion, the atmosphere in both sides is one of optimism and expectation.
In anticipation of a win, workers from the Congress and United Democratic Front (UDF) have started making biryani for about 5,000 people in Pandikkad in the Malappuram district. As part of the festivities, food will be provided from a sizable tent that has been erected in the vicinity. According to party members, 16 sizable cooking containers, each holding around 40 kg of rice, have been set up. In addition to cuisine, cultural events are scheduled to commemorate what is anticipated to be a major political victory.
“We will celebrate the end of 10 years of LDF rule. We welcome everyone, including CPI(M) workers," a Congress worker said, adding that preparations are in full swing. The UDF will continue to keep its grip in Malappuram, according to local authorities.
