In an apparent counter-attack to the allegations of fielding namesakes of United Democratic Front candidate K.Francis George, the Left Democratic Front on Saturday accused the Congress of striking a deal with the National Democratic Alliance.
Addressing the media, Kerala Congress (M) general secretary Stephen George alleged it was K.A. Prasad, Kottayam district president of the Indian Lawyers Congress, a subsidiary body of the Congress, who had prepared the nomination papers and affidavit of NDA candidate Tushar Vellappally. Mr. Prasad is also the notary public who has attested the affidavit of Mr. Vellappally.
``The NDA candidate appointed a person who holds an official position of the Congress is the greatest example of a deal between the Congress and the BJP in Kerala,’’ he said.
