Congress leader VD Satheesan said the party understood a fundamental aspect of Kerala – its secular nature. “Some extreme groups offered support but we said ‘no, we don’t want’. Across the state all communities voted for us… for the UDF because they know we are secular. This victory of the UDF is a declaration of Kerala being secular,” he said.
“The BJP is not a force in Kerala,” he stressed. “We will never accept communal forces. This is declaration by our state to the country – that the BJP has not say in Kerala.”
