Kerala, which entered Lok Sabha polls on Tuesday, is seeing a new constituency -- Pathanamthitta -- emerging as a significant constituency.
The electoral fight in this constituency is alleged to be one where the dynamics of the voters have significantly been impacted by the Sabarimala temple issue.
The holy shrine of Sabarimala saw the Kerala's public fighting against the Supreme Court (SC) order that banned the entry of women into Sabarimala.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) had gotten a significant support from the people for their stand on the issue while the Left Democratic Front-led state government faced a major set back.
