New Indian Express  

A setback in Palakkad and Chelakkara would not be taken lightly by the high command, which is betting heavily on the political fortunes of the state.

Meanwhile, Congress’ Maharashtra in-charge Chennithala is pinning his hopes on a possible comeback of the Maha Vikas Aghadi in the assembly election.
