Kochi Mayor M. Anilkumar claims increased support for the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in the Corporation Council during the voting to approve the Corporation Budget. With 39 councillors backing LDF against 5 from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the United Democratic Front (UDF) boycotting, Anilkumar emphasizes the strengthened position. He criticizes the BJP’s demand for a vote, unusual in the Corporation, but allows it to showcase confidence. Anilkumar urges UDF to avoid disruptive tactics and calls for political maturity. The UDF alleges an “illegal” move by the Mayor, intensifying the political discourse.
