The Kerala resultsThe results of the 2025 Kerala local body polls indicate the desire of the people of Kerala for change (Front page, December 14). It is remarkable that the Bharatiya Janata Party, largely driven by its religious ideology, has made an impact in the State. It would be interesting to see how the party evolves in the Assembly election and has a presence in the State’s politics.Upadhyayula Ramalakshmi,VisakhapatnamAll the tall talk of development alone will not suffice as the people expected much more from the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government. There are several factors that had a role in the LDF’s drubbing which includes the financial crunch due to lopsided priorities and the woes of farmers and government staff.
