While UDF is confident of retaining seat, LDF nominee banks on his bond with voters
Ranging from the deep-sea fishing row to the delay in realising the Vizhinjam seaport and from the plight of the handloom weavers of Balaramapuram to the shortage of potable water along the coastal belt, a whole gamut of issues have come to the fore in the Kovalam Assembly constituency where electioneering has neared a finish. The segment, which is known for its unpredictable swings from one coalition to the other, has been witnessing a fierce contest. United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate and incumbent MLA M. Vincent, who snatched victory from Jameela Prakasam of the Janata Dal (Secular) [JD(S)] by 2,615 votes five years ago, is confident of repeating his performance after completing three rounds of campaigning.More Related News
