A dispute broke out over the allocation of tokens for submitting nomination papers after United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate and sitting MP Rajmohan Unnithan alleged that he was denied the first token despite arriving first at the district Civil Station in Kasaragod on Wednesday.
He staged a sit-in outside the District Collector’s office, accusing authorities of favouring Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate M.V. Balakrishnan.
In response, Mr. Balakrishnan said his proposer arrived early and queued since nine in the morning. Aziz Kadapuram, representing the Left candidate, suggested reviewing CCTV footage for verification of the claim.
