Could Madhani’s release impact Kerala Politics???

On February 14, 1998, shortly before BJP leader L.K Advani 's poll meeting, a serial blast rocked Coimbatore. Fifty-eight people were killed and more than 250 were injured. Nine years later, when verdict in the case was delivered on August 1, the reactions were mixed. Peoples of Democratic Party chief Abdul Nasser Madhani's family and followers are happy. Madhani was acquitted along with seven others, while al-Umma founder S.A Basha and 152 ohters were found guilty of conspiracy.Madhani's home-coming is expected to change the profile of minority politics in Kerala. The LDF government headed by E.K Nayanar projected Madhani's arrest as acheivement. Though the ruling UDF passed a resolution in March 2005 seeking Madhani's release, an angry PDP allied with the LDF to help its return to power last years. However he said in his Kairali channel interview that PDP would work for social revolution and party derived strength from all backward sections, including the Dalits. Whatever may be the declaration, one thing is sure that return of Madhani will put Muslim League on backfoot. In his speech at Thiruvanadapuram on day after his release was flooded with his supporters. From his speech we can conclude that as of now PDP will continue its alliance with LDF.
