Thiruvananthapuram, March 12 : For the first time in a quarter of a century, the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), the second biggest constituent of the Congress-led United Democratic Front, on Friday announced a woman among the list of its candidates for the April 6 Kerala Assembly polls.
In the 1996 Assembly polls, the IUML fielded Qamrunisa Anwar from the Calicut-2 Assembly constituency but she lost by less than 9,000 votes.

He accuses political rivals of attempting to scuttle progress
Accusing the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of working against the interests of the State, Communist Party of India (CPI) state secretary Kanam Rajendran on Friday said that both the opposition parties have lost the moral right to seek the people’s mandate.
He was speaking while inaugurating a Left Democratic Front (LDF) convention organised in Nedumangad on Friday in support of its candidate G.R. Anil in the constituency.
This comes at a time when the constituent partners of Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) have gone ahead and declared their candidates. The Congress is expected to announce its final list by Sunday.
