UDF leaders have sought an apology from A.M. Ariff
A major row erupted after A.M. Ariff, MP, made a controversial remark aimed at United Democratic Front (UDF) Kayamkulam Assembly constituency candidate Aritha Babu on Sunday. Speaking at a women’s meeting organised as part of the election campaigning of sitting MLA and Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate U. Prathibha of the CPI (M) in Kayamkulam, Mr. Ariff said that this was not an election to a milk society but to the Kerala Assembly. He was referring to the UDF often highlighting the humble background of its candidate during the election campaign to woo voters.More Related News
