LDF clinches five municipalities, UDF, BJP one each
Palakkad municipality elected its chairperson and vice chairperson after dramatic scenes that led to heated arguments between BJP and opposition councillors on Monday.
The dispute began when BJP’s senior councillor V. Natesan wanted to withdraw his ballot after “mistakenly” voting for the Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate M.V. Usha in the chairperson election. Noisy scenes followed as the LDF and the United Democratic Front (UDF) opposed Mr. Natesan’s attempt and the BJP councillors supported him. Mr. Natesan’s vote was later declared invalid.
