Twists and turns of Alappuzha’s poll graph

The Hindu  

When the CPI-led Left Democratic Front returned to power in 2016, it was almost a clean sweep in Alappuzha district. When the UDF wave swept the State in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the Alappuzha Lok Sabha constituency stood with the LDF. The CPI is set to contest from Aroor, Alappuzha, Ambalappuzha, Kayamkulam, Mavelikara and Chengannur and the CPI from Cherthala and Haripad. Of the sitting LDF MLAs, Food and Civil Supplies Minister P. Thilothaman of the CPI may not contest the polls after winning three times from Cherthala. In the NDA, the BJP is likely to field candidates from Alappuzha, Ambalappuzha, Haripad, Chengannur and Mavelikara, while the Bharath Dharma Jana Sena will contest from Kayamkulam, Kuttanad, Cherthala and Aroor.
