Stamp collection, magic are also among legislators’ hobbies Playing or watching football and watching cinema figured top among the favourite pastimes and hobbies of the MLAs in the 14th Legislative Assembly.
Reading was almost a common inclusion among the hobbies of the sitting MLAs as per the feedback collected from the legislators by the research wing of the Kerala Assembly Secretariat. More than half of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) MLAs had mentioned reading as their hobby. A good number of legislators belonging to the Communist Party of India and the Indian National Congress had also selected reading as a key hobby.
The CPM has dropped 38 sitting MLAs including five ministers from its candidate list and fielded an equal number of newcomers, banking on youth to try and retain power in Kerala.
The party on Wednesday announced its nominees for 83 of the 85 constituencies it will contest when Kerala votes on April 6 to fill its 140 Assembly seats.
A party release said 25 of the candidates were aged below 50, including four who were under 30 K.M. Sachin Dev (Balussery), Jaick C. Thomas (Puthupally), Linto Joseph (Thiruvambady) and P. Mithuna (Wandoor). Twelve women, including eight newcomers, have been fielded. Another 33 candidates are under 60.
The CPI, the second-biggest partner in the ruling Left Democratic Front, had on Monday announced candidates for 21 of the 25 seats it will contest.
