Frayed political tempers marked the fourth day of the LDF government’s public outreach programme, the Navakerala Sadas, in Kannur district on Tuesday.
An alleged DYFI attack on Youth Congress workers who staged a black flag protest against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s motorcade in Kannur on Monday appeared to have vitiated the State’s political atmosphere.
The fraught situation showed no sign of abating, with the Congress threatening to pit MLAs and MPs at the forefront of the street protests against Mr. Vijayan.
