Disgruntlement among grassroots-level workers of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is likely to affect the campaign of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls in Kerala.
According to sources, the workers are unhappy over rejection of the party’s claim for a Lok Sabha seat and the non-inclusion of its lone MLA, K.P. Mohanan, in the State Cabinet. The party’s social media groups, which have a wide reach and influence among loyal workers, are actively holding discussions on keeping away from campaigning.
Though the official leadership has reportedly declined to accept the crux of the ongoing campaign on Whatsapp, Facebook, and other social media platforms, some district leaders said that its impact was likely to be visible in the coming days. The LDF not taking any steps to assuage their sentiments is the “best example” of sidelining their concerns, they added.
