Rumours of undercurrents against him made CPI(M) lay special focus on Beypore
Meticulous planning and systematic door-to-door campaigns at the booth- level helped Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) national president P.A. Mohamed Riyas win a huge mandate in the Beypore Assembly constituency. Mr. Riyas who contested on the CPI(M) ticket secured leads in the Kozhikode Corporation, including the erstwhile Cheruvannur-Nallalam grama panchayat, Ramanattukara and Feroke municipalities, and Kadalundi grama panchayat. Incidentally, the United Democratic Front (UDF) is in power in both the municipalities. CPI(M) sources said the micro-managed campaign keenly monitored both by the district and State committees of the party gave Mr. Riyas a bigger victory margin than his precursor and popular leader V.K.C. Mammed Koya in the 2016 Assembly polls.More Related News
