Left out: Kerala gone, Communists not in office in any state after almost 50 years Kerala's voters have ousted the CPM-led LDF, marking the first time since 1977 India has no Communist-governed state.

Defeat was compounded by the win of CPM rebels. #Kerala #LDF #Congress-led_UDF #Kerala_voters #years_Kerala #CPM-led_LDF #Communist-governed_state #Communists #UDF_victory #Left_national
