Grand rallies mark end of Chelakkara campaign

New Indian Express  

Grand rallies and huge public meetings marked the end of open campaign in Chelakkara assembly constituency that will go to polls on November 13. As the UDF candidate Ramya Haridas led the campaign highlighting the lack of development in Chelakkara when a CPM leader represented the constituency for 28 years, the ‘Kottikkalasham’ concluded with high hopes for the UDF camp. For LDF candidate U R Pradeep, the campaign entered another level as Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan directly took part in seven LDF conventions. BJP candidate K Balakrishnan’s campaign was lacklustre in the initial days, but gathered momentum in the latter days with well-organised campaign by roping in grassroots-level workers and conducting scheduled conventions. On Monday, BJP chief K Surendran also joined the ‘Kottikkalasham.’ It ended with a minor clash between police and BJP workers amid the dance and celebrations carrying flags.
