Constituency abuzz with activity as candidates go all out to woo voters
After attending a wedding, Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate in Balussery, Sachin Dev, was getting ready for a roadshow at Poonoor on Friday afternoon. “Weddings are where we get to meet a large number of voters. In this last leg of campaigning, it is one of the best ways to reach out to them,” said Mr. Dev. He moved so quickly, renewing acquaintance with the voters at Poonoor market, that his fellow party workers were struggling to catch up with him. Mr. Dev is banking on the image of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] at the State-level as well as the developmental activities carried out by sitting MLA Purushan Kadalundy to aid his victory. However, his opponents have alleged that theLDF had been unsuccessful in handling the needs of the constituency, where it had a strong hold for the last 35 years.More Related News
