On Tuesday, the ruling CPI(M) in Kerala sharply criticized the Congress-led UDF for aligning with the Jamaat-e-Islami backed Welfare party in the upcoming Nilambur Assembly bypoll.

CPI(M) argues that this alliance demonstrates a continuing communal trend within the Congress-led coalition, challenging their moral stance on communalism.

The bypoll, set for June 19, sees CPI(M)'s M Swaraj competing against Congress's Aryadan Shoukath, amid heated debates over political and ideological allegiances.
