Kerala Elections 2026 | Wayanad Tribals Threaten Poll Boycott Over Land Rights

In Kerala’s Wayanad, around 400 Adivasi families living in makeshift shelters at the Marianad estate are considering a boycott of the upcoming Assembly elections. Displaced by floods and still without land rights, drinking water, electricity, or basic facilities, these tribal communities say their demands have been ignored for years. Despite repeated protests and legal backing, they remain landless, struggling with poor living conditions and limited livelihood options.
