Known for its political bargaining skills, the party symbol of the IUML is a ladder. In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the party contested two seats which they won with ease. And this act of succumbing to the IUML by the Congress, came under attack from several quarters. For long, the IUML has been contesting two Lok Sabha seats and this time those in the know of things say that they will seek two more seats and settle for one. So the coming days will reveal if the IUML will lean its ‘ladder’ towards the Left,” said the political analyst.
