With less than three weeks to go for the byelection in Puthupally, the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) are engaged in an intense game of managing the electoral narratives here.
While the LDF has put up a concerted attempt to fix the campaign to infrastructure development, the UDF has sought to veer off and, in turn, has sharpened its attack on the State government over the recent scams.
Setting the tone of its election campaign, Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan on Saturday ridiculed the LDF demand to discuss development issues in the constituency.
