The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) surged ahead in Kerala on Monday as counting of votes for the 140 Assembly constituencies progressed, putting the opposition alliance on course for a strong comeback after a decade.Early trends showed the UDF leading in around 100 seats, while the ruling CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) trailed with leads in about 40 constituencies.The counting process began at 8am across centres in the state, starting with postal ballots, and a clearer picture is expected as more rounds are completed.While the BJP has been attempting to expand its footprint after recent gains in parliamentary and local body polls, its presence remains limited to a handful of constituencies in the early trends.The Kerala contest is part of a broader electoral exercise across five states, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam and Puducherry — covering 824 Assembly seats.
