Poll campaign picks up pace in Mavelikara Lok Sabha constituency

The campaigning for Lok Sabha polls is gaining momentum in the Mavelikara Lok Sabha constituency. Both the United Democratic Front (UDF) and Left Democratic Front (LDF) are engaged in a pitched battle, whereas the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is giving them a tight fight.

The UDF has fielded incumbent Kodikunnil Suresh, MP, of the Congress for the fourth time in a row. The LDF has given the ticket to Communist Party of India (CPI) leader C.A. Arunkumar to wrest the seat. In the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), the Bharat Dharma Jana Sena (BDJS) has been given the Mavelikara seat. The party has fielded its State secretary Baiju Kalasala who recently switched sides from the Congress to the BDJS.
