IUML fields a woman for the first time in 25 years to defend its sitting seat of Kozhikode South
None of the fronts seems to have an upper hand in Kozhikode South, which has never been completely loyal to any party. Incumbent MLA M.K. Muneer choosing not to contest from here again does not sit well with the voters and hence adds to the confidence of both LDF and NDA candidates.
91-year old Rajagopal, the lone BJP leader to emerge victorious in the 2016 elections, said there were some adjustments in earlier elections in certain constituencies as part of practical politics .
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Former Union minister and senior BJP leader O Rajagopal on Wednesday kicked up a controversy in poll-bound Kerala claiming there were adjustments between UDF partners Congress and IUML and his party in past elections in order to defeat the CPM.
Rajagopal, an MLA, made the remark to TV channels a day after another senior BJP leader R Balashankar alleged there was a CPM-BJP deal in some constituencies, a statement dismissed by his party as an emotional reaction owing to denial of ticket for him to contest the April 6 assembly elections.
