Never has a byelection gained as much public attention in recent times as witnessed in the high-voltage campaign in the Thrikkakara Assembly constituency. All of it ends today ahead of the polling on May 31.
The Left and the United fronts left no stone unturned in their electioneering as it emerged as a battle of prestige between Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Leader of the Opposition V. D. Satheesan. They led an unprecedented grassroots-level campaign over three weeks backed by an array of ministers, MLAs and political bigwigs knocking on the doors of voters across the constituency.
