The campaigning in Chalakudy Lok Sabha constituency has reached a fever pitch ahead of the polling on April 26.
The key fronts are deploying the best of their strategies to woo voters. The Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) are ensuring the participation of their prominent leaders in the campaign.
On Friday, Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] general secretary Sitaram Yechury addressed a meeting at Pattimattom in Kunnathunadu Assembly constituency. He accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) of having destroyed the secular and federal fabric of the nation. The BJP is using investigative agencies to target the Opposition leaders. The Narendra Modi regime has surrendered the assets and wealth of the country before the private sector, he alleged. Mr. Yechury also criticised the UDF for asking why the enforcement agencies were not arresting Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
