LDF, UDF play development card, while NDA hopes to improve standing
It’s half past noon and the sun is belting down on Parayankari, near Pallippad, in the Haripad Assembly constituency. At the reception point, a small but vibrant crowd consisting of every age group is eagerly awaiting the arrival of Leader of the Opposition and United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate Ramesh Chennithala. A few minutes later Mr. Chennithala, sitting MLA, arrives in a specially designed open vehicle shaded by a makeshift roof and accompanied by a small convoy of vehicles. He gets down and greets people who surround him. With a smiling face, he poses for photos and selfies with some of them.More Related News
