Around 50 days of hectic public campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls ended on Wednesday evening in Kozhikode district, as both the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) exuded confidence of winning Kozhikode and Vadakara segments, while the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) claimed to make significant gains in these seats.
The grand event to culminate the campaign was held at Palayam for the Kozhikode constituency and at Thalassery for the Vadakara constituency. Vadakara town was spared of the spectacle considering the possibility of violent clashes between activists of rival political fronts.
