A DMK functionary was hacked to death by a gang of four men on Tuesday night.
Police sources said the victim was identified as Selvam, 188 ward secretary of the DMK unit. He was likely to be fielded as a contestant in the local body election, sources added.
While he was going on Rajaji Road, the four men waylaid him and hacked him to death. The gang escaped from the spot.
With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
