KERALA, INDIA - OCTOBER 18: Indian fishermen repair their nets after the morning catch on October 18, 2010 in Kerala, India. Keralans are preparing to go to the polls on October 23 and 25 for local elections in 13 of the traditionally left-leaning state's 14 districts. It is expected that the governing Communist-led Left Democratic Front, once popular with the state's agrarian poor, fishermen and trade unions, will contest the election with the opposition Congress-led Unified Democratic Front.
