Prakash’s passing a loss for UDF in Malappuram
The Hindu
He played a crucial role in maintaining good relationship between Congress and IUML
The untimely passing of Malappuram District Congress Committee (DCC) president V.V. Prakash, 56, is feared to inflict a blow to the United Democratic Front (UDF) in the district. Especially vulnerable will be the Congress’s delicate relation with its trustworthy ally Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) sans Prakash. Under the stewardship of Prakash, the Congress had had the best of relation with the IUML in Malappuram. The civic body election held in December last year was testimony to the UDF unity in the district. When the Left Democratic Front (LDF) made gains in other parts of the State, Malappuram continued to remain a UDF fortress.More Related News
