The war of words between the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) over the alleged cyber attack on their candidates and leaders in the Vadakara Lok Sabha constituency continues to make waves in the electoral space.
With the campaigning for the election coming to an end in a couple of days, the UDF camp has now grabbed a purported comment made by K.K. Shailja, LDF candidate, in which she has denied the use of any “morphed video” against her by her rivals. Those close to Shafi Parambil, the UDF candidate, are terming this as a “U-turn” by Ms. Shailaja.
On Sunday, however, the CPI(M) leader said she had not gone back on anything that she had said earlier. Ms. Shailaja reiterated that she was the victim of an unethical campaign on social media. She stuck to her earlier claim that morphed pictures and edited videos were being used against her.
