THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The unexpected demise of Nilambur Congress candidate VV Prakash, 56, just two days before the counting of votes, has come as a rude shock for the UDF. A staunch Oommen Chandy loyalist even during his KSU days, Prakash struggled hard to emerge out of the shadows of Aryadan Muhammed, another senior ‘A’ group leader from Nilambur.
Soft-spoken, Prakash never demanded a lucrative post or a party ticket, said a senior Congress leader. Prakash got the assembly seat this time after the central Congress leadership put its weight behind him in the tug of war with Aryadan Shoukath. Prakash had unsuccessfully contested from Tavanur constituency in the 2011 assembly elections against CPM-backed independent candidate K T Jaleel.
