An interesting battle is on the cards in the Chalakudy Lok Sabha constituency that has mostly remained a traditional stronghold of the Congress.
The United Democratic Front (UDF) has entrusted sitting MP Benny Behanan with the task of retaining the seat while the Left Democratic Front (LDF) is making an attempt to breach the Congress bastion by fielding C. Raveendranath, former Minister for Education.
K.A. Unnikrishnan of the Bharath Dharma Jana Sena(BDJS), an ally of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), and Charlie Paul of the Twenty20 are trying to make dents in a seemingly bipolar contest involving the LDF and the UDF.
