Thiruvananthapuram: Opposition Leader Ramesh Chennithala said that the media is trying to defeat the UDF by conducting surveys. He was speaking at a press meet here on various media houses publishing pre-poll survey results in favour of LDF.

The media in Kerala are applying mean tactics which seems neutral and unbiased. We raised allegations against the government on the basis of evidences. The government had to admit defeat before all the allegations, Chennithala said.

If anyone thought that they can defeat us through surveys, they should know that even CPM and government failed to destroy us. They trap media through threats and advertisements, he alleged.
