The Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Kerala Assembly and senior Congress leader VD Satheesan on Saturday (December 13) spoke exclusively to India TV where he emphasised that the local body elections in Kerala are distinct from those in other states, as they involve a direct political contest with nearly one lakh candidates competing across the three-tier system. This victory, he said, is the largest the UDF has achieved in the last three decades, surpassing all previous wins since the introduction of the Nagar Palika and Panchayats Acts in 1995.
