The LDF suffered a blow in politically sensitive Kannur, where Congress candidate and former CPI-M MP A P Abdullakutty emerged victorious by a margin of 12,000 votes over CPI-M's M V Jayarajan.
Abdullakutty, who represented Kannur twice in parliament on a CPI-M ticket, was expelled from the party a few months back following serious differences with the CPI-M leadership, after which he joined the Congress.
Congress candidates Dominic Presentation trounced CPI-M's P N Sinulal in Ernakulam by over 8000 votes, while his colleague A A Shukur retained Alappuzha seat by defeating G Krishaparasad of CPI by 4000 votes.
The November 7 by-polls were necessitated by resignation of sitting Congress MLAs K Sudhakaran (Kannur), K V Thomas (Ernakulam) and K C Venugopal (Alappuzha) on getting elected to Lok Sabha.
The results showed that UDF had been able to consolidate its Lok Sabha performance of lifting 16 of the 20 seats in the state.The current round of elections were seen as a dress rehearsal for the 2011 assembly polls to be preceded by the civic elections next year.
Despite its best efforts and high voltage campaign, the LDF failed to reverse the rout it faced in Parliamentary polls.

India should follow Two-Party System..........small parties like CPIM and all will affect the stability and growth of this republic. We should not allow this......I prefer Congress and BJP, BJP which is free from its current Hindu ideology.........Their policies are not acceptable for men living in modern world.......
The biggest culprit of this defeat is none other than the goonda and street cultured CPM state secretary, Pinarayi Vijayan, who leads five star life. Let the cameramen of media go to his Kannur Luxurious Bunglow and find out his way of life. He is not a communist. He has floated all the ideology of communism. Kick him out and save CPM in Kerala.
All the three seats vacated by Congress Party are safely back into their hands through these by-elections. However, it appears that the people in general were not very enthusiastic in voting in favour of Congress as they were during the last Parliament elections. The victory margins have reduced in all these three constituencies and in Alappuzha the margin is as low as 4900 votes. In comparison to last elections, these results are in favour of the Left Front in Kerala though the seats are still with Congress.
BJP Peoplevoted to Congress. That is why CPIM Lost.IF CPIM shows more inclination towards to Hindus than NDF they will win next election
What all rules they are bringing in Kerala. All rules are for common man not for business man. In Trichur, Shoba city and Lulu Yousuf Ali filled acres of paddy field, there was no problem. But a common man ask approval to fill 5 cent land to build a house, they bring all kind of rules... This is only a beginning. they are going to face more..
No policy-always blame central govt-always blame others for anything.Once it was tractor, then computer, now ASEAN for all the ills kerala is facing. A party of power seekers.
Bypoll results from Kerala and West Bengal is really a blow to Prakash Karat.CPM's leaders in both states are un reachable for common man and they are with Industrialists and businessmen.Party's central leadership doesn't know the pulse of common man.Karat is yet to prove that he is a real leader.
Leftists will pay heavy price for their unprincipaled support to UPA last time. No tears will be shed if they are wiped out completely in future elections. Leftists and SP has committed a sin and nation will never pardon them. They are reaping what they have sown.
The communists in Kerala and West Bengal should realise that slogans and bundhs can fool people for some time. Commies can now go to their fatherland - China and live happily ever after
yeah just like italians who should return to the pope and country.
Wide spread propaganda of inner party troubles of CPM through all media bagged a wrong impression. Destitutes, who are the backbone of CPM, have not been cared properly due to the factionism emanated in the Party. If things will go without a harmony and Destitutes have been fired comprising of all other Parties, the faith of depending on CPM will evaporate in theirown States. Destitutes in any Party will have an inclination to CPM as a last resort for them. The by-election says so.
Vote Jihadies have doctored EVM machines and ensured CongI victory
You are nothing but dregs of that party....using an Italian name but looking stupid rather than being cleverNever knew idiots like you maketh that party.
Till these EVM's (Electronic victory machines) & Chawla are their congress has no problems in winning all elections comfortably. Opposion parties can win only if voting is conducted on basis of ballot papers. Jai ho chawla ! Jai ho swiss bank money ! Jai ho Quotrichi ! Jai Ho scams! Jai Ho Inflation !
Know what it means you bigoted low down chaddiwallah....no temple will ever be built as long as India remains secular & all are considered citizens. You Pandavas must be sent into exile like Ravana...this is new India if you want to go back to the Mahabaratha...get sanyas in Gujarat.
It is said that people get the rulers they deserve and it just goes to show what kind of people the kannur electorate is made up of. They voted into power a man who till a few months back was a dyed in black marxist sympathiser and is now a avid gandhi family sycophant and tomorrow may go on to disowning even his father. well good luck to him and those who voted for him. One may not see anything lower in public morality than that for a long time.
It is obviously a fitting reply by the people of kerala to the arrogant and blind leadership of Marxist Party. This is only the begning of the end of communist.
