Seemingly compounding troubles politically for the government is that several of the decisions questioned by the CPI(M) have emerged from the Waqf, Local Self Government (LSG) and General Education departments, all handled by ally Indian Union Muslim League (IUML). The IUML had helped deliver a windfall for the UDF in the recent Assembly elections by campaigning on the narrative that another CPI(M)-led Left democratic Front (LDF) government would pave the way for the BJP in Kerala.
