As electioneering in Puthuppally enters the final lap, the mercury level on the ground has caught up with the day-time heat with the party cadres scrambling through every nuke and cranny of the constituency.
Electioneering on Thursday centred around the Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam units as the candidates attended the Chatayam day celebrations organised at various locations within the constituency. In consideration of the significant presence of the Ezhava community here, the parties also gave a break to the high-octane campaign for the day and resorted to personal canvassing.
Earlier in the day, Kerala Congress chairman P.J. Joseph led the United Democratic Front’s campaign at Manarcaud Junction. With just a few more days left for the election, the Congress will be bringing a handful of top leaders including A.K. Antony and Shashi Tharoor to lead the campaign. While Mr. Antony is slated to address a couple of election conventions on September 1 and 2, Mr. Tharoor will be attending a handful of family meets and road shows.
