Allegations of cyberattacks and apprehensions about bogus voting have marred campaigning in the Vadakara Lok Sabha constituency where two sitting MLAs, K.K. Shailaja of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)]-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) and Shafi Parambil of the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF), are in the fray.
While the CPI(M) alleges that the UDF has launched a vicious cyberattack against Ms. Shailaja, who was also the former Health Minister of the State, the Congress moved the Kerala High Court seeking action to prevent bogus voting in Vadakara in the Lok Sabha elections.
