Both fronts in the state are eagerly seeking support of communal organizations for the coming assembly polls. Some organizations have already announced their stands. People’s democratic front(PDP) and Jama-at-islami have come forward in support of L.D.F while N.D.F and Kerala Dalit Federation will stand for the victory of U.D.F 

P.D.P has some influence in the southern districts of Kerala while N.D.F has decisive role in Malabar, especially in Malappuram, Kozhikode and Kannur districts. Both of the organizations can definitely influence Muslim vote banks. The important aspect of these tie-ups is that some members among both organizations are against this policy. 

Highly confidential sources say that in the in-house meetings many workers questioned P.D.Ps and N.D.Fs recent political stands. P.D.P leader Mahdani was sent to jail during the rule of E.K. Nayanar. This issue has become  a hot dispute among P.D.P cadres. Some party sympathizers are of the opinion that Ommen Chandy  had done his maximum to free Mahdany. At this juncture work in favour of L.D.F would not help the organization. Says one faction in the P.D.P. 

On the other side a group of N.D.F workers are questioning the organisation’s move to support U.D.F. This group alleges that N.D.F has become a B team of Muslim league. K.N.M and Sunnis are the other major organizations with decisive role in election.  

Meanwhile a move of UDF leaders to get the support of SNDP leader Vellappally Natesan didn’t succeed. Vellappally commented that UDF had ignored SNDP. Adivasi Gothramaha Sabha is supporting UDF in the coming polls. In short, secular Kerala is watching communal votes. Their stand will decide who will become the rulers.
