CPI(M) nominates Kunhammed Kutty in Kuttiyadi
The Hindu
After digging in its heels following protests by its supporters, the CPI(M) has zeroed in on party district secretariat member and former Kozhikode district panchayat president K.P. Kunhammed Kutty to fight the Assembly polls from Kuttiyadi segment.
The development comes after the Kerala Congress (M) decided to withdraw its candidate from the constituency. Kuttiyadi was allotted to the KC(M) as per a seat-sharing pact in the Left Democratic Front (LDF). However, the arrangement had led to protests by CPI(M) workers in Kuttiyadi last week. Initially, the CPI (M) leadership refused to bow to the pressures but eventually the KC(M) decided to return the seat to its senior partner in the coalition. The decision of the CPI( M) district committee was endorsed by the party State committee.More Related News
