Enthusiasm of party workers is at fever pitch as the UDF candidate in the Kannur Lok Sabha constituency K. Sudhakaran makes his entry, flanked by a galaxy of senior Congress leaders to Panunda, a small village located nearly 20 km away from the district headquarters, on Sunday morning. Firecracker bursts propel their spirit to its zenith as they are all determined to celebrate the carnival of democracy in its full glow.
“If your selection is going wrong this time, it will be a test to our country’s existence,” says Mr. Sudhakaran, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) State president, while opening his day’s campaign in the village. This high-profile Congress candidate draws the attention of his voters with a claim that the country is facing a huge “identity crisis” now, where they can only make the necessary intervention.
