The brutal summer weather seems to be giving a tough fight for the political heat amidst the campaign for the Lok Sabha election in Kerala.
With the State bracing for the hottest summer in a decade, the candidates and their party workers are sweating it out in the searing heat. The soaring mercury levels have taken a toll on the campaign, especially in Palakkad, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Kozhikode, Kannur, Alappuzha, Malappuram and Kasaragod districts, which are expecting a spike of 2-4 degree Celsius in the maximum temperatures till March 30.
A change in the campaign timings with afternoon breaks, regular supply of water to keep the candidates and party workers hydrated and holding more indoor meetings are some of the strategies being adopted by the poll managers to beat the sweltering temperatures.
