Resentment is brewing in the United Democratic Front (UDF), especially in the Congress, after the release of the list of party candidates on Sunday evening.
While a section of the Congress activists came out against the candidature of K. Babu in Thripunithura, trade unionists led by Congress ‘I’ faction leader K.P. Haridas have raised the banner of protest against party candidate Deepak Joy in Vypeen constituency. Indian Union Muslim League leader T.A. Ahamad Kabeer has also protested against him being denied the Kalamassery seat.
In Thripunithura, District Congress Committee general secretary A.B. Sabu lashed out at Mr. Babu and alleged that senior party leader Oommen Chandy had bargained a seat for Mr. Babu, as the former Excise Minister was the funding source for Congress candidates.
