A broad outline of the campaign narrative for the Lok Sabha polls is slowly emerging in Kozhikode district though the United Democratic Front (UDF) is yet to officially announce its candidates.
In Kozhikode constituency, the UDF is highlighting the development works taken up by M.K. Raghavan, its incumbent MP, who is expected to seek another term in office. Mr. Raghavan’s week-long ‘Janahridaya Yathra’, which started on March 1, is criss-crossing various Assembly seats in the constituency. A political meeting is scheduled for March 9, on the day of its culmination, where the UDF’s official campaign is likely to be launched.
The Congress-led alliance is focusing on political violence and the involvement of Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] workers in the murder of Revolutionary Marxist Party (RMP) founder T.P. Chandrasekharan in the Vadakara seat. K. Muraleedharan, MP, who is also set to be fielded as the UDF candidate, has not officially started his campaign in the constituency. But, he is actively participating in various events there.
