As the heat of summer intensifies, the battle for Kerala's Kollam Lok Sabha seat heats up between incumbent RSP leader N K Premachandran, LDF's M Mukesh, and BJP's G Krishnakumar. Mukesh, a film-star-turned-politician, connects well with voters, while Premachandran emphasizes secularism and denies rumors of switching parties. BJP enters the fray with Krishnakumar, aiming to tap into the constituency's Hindu majority and fishermen community.
