The unified front presented by the United Democratic Front (UDF) and the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in the Kozhikode Corporation council meeting on Friday ultimately shattered with the UDF councillors staging a walkout over an amendment proposed by the LDF on a motion by Congress councillor S.K. Aboobakker.
The two fronts had jointly proposed President’s intervention in Manipur through separate adjournment motions. However, the peace was short lived as the UDF opposed several items in the agenda and ultimately walked out.
Mr. Aboobakker had brought in the issue of price hike of essential commodities and demanded the State to intervene in the market immediately to control it. He proposed that the Corporation demand the State government to ensure supply of goods at reasonable rates at least under the public distribution system.
