Triangular contest in the Gateway to Munnar
The Hindu
Voting pattern of Syrian Jacobite Church members a decisive factor in Kothamangalam
A flurry of fast-paced road resurfacing and widening work welcome people to Kothamangalam, even as shops displaying alluring furniture pieces and other goods remain near empty of customers, signifying the poll mood and the post-pandemic situation in the town, which was once the gateway to Munnar. The fiery triangular contest in Kothamangalam is the cynosure of all eyes, as CPI(M) leader and sitting MLA Antony John of the LDF is pitted against Shibu Thekkumpuram of the Kerala Congress (Joseph), a UDF constituent, and Joe Joseph of Twenty20. A medical doctor by profession, Mr. Joseph is the son-in-law of none other than KC (J) leader P.J. Joseph. The NDA has fielded Shine K. Krishnan of the BDJS. While Twenty20 has opted for a rather silent campaign, candidates of the three rival fronts are criss-crossing the constituency, with Mr. Thekkumpuram and Mr. Krishnan focusing on the Kuttampuzha tribal belt.
