The Hindu
Stand of Latin Christians, Ezhavas, other prominent communities play a role in deciding results
With only one week left for the Assembly polls, electioneering has reached a fever pitch in the Alappuzha constituency where an intense battle is on the cards. On Monday, Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate P.P. Chitharanjan of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI (M)] campaigned in Aryad and Mararikulam South. He says that the people are happy and exudes confidence about his victory. Mr. Chitharanjan is seeking votes to continue the development initiatives. United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate K.S. Manoj, who is fighting the polls on the Congress ticket, met voters in Chathanad, Kattoor, Mararikulam and so on. He is pinning hopes on allegations, especially the deep-sea fishing deal, against the LDF government to wrest the seat.
