South Kerala a crucial battleground for fronts
The Hindu
Several closely fought constituencies in the region
South Kerala seems to be at the epicentre of a bitterly contested Assembly election. As the State gets closer to voting on April 6, the race appeared to remain close in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam and Pathanamthitta districts. Several constituencies in the region are closely fought ideological battlefronts for the three opposing fronts led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)], Congress, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Topping the list of critical battlegrounds, arguably, is Kazhakuttam. Devaswom Minister Kadakampally Surendran is locked in a fierce electoral fight with Sobha Surendran of the BJP. Central to their conflict is the sensitive issue of equal right for women to worship at the Sabarimala Ayyappa temple.
