Candidates debate over development that has been and that has to be
Water, nothing but water, continues to be the sole election plank in Chittur, one of the oldest Assembly segments in Palakkad district, in spite of having been represented 14 times by different political leaders since the formation of Kerala. The incumbent, Minister for Water Resources K. Krishnankutty, represented Chittur four times (in 1980, 1982, 1991 and 2016). Congress leader K. Achuthan represented Chittur four times consecutively for 20 years from 1996. They claim that they did their best for Chittur. Yet, Chittur remains one of the least developed constituencies in the district.More Related News
