KANNUR: The United Democratic Front (UDF) Azhikode Assembly constituency election committee has demanded strong security arrangements inside and outside polling booths in the constituency on polling day to ensure a free and fair election. The committee chairman, P. Ramakrishnan, told a press conference on Tuesday that the UDF candidate would win the seat if the polling was held in a free and fair manner.
Appeals to EC
The committee had already urged the Election Commission to have strong security measures and police protection inside and outside the booths, he said adding that the Communist Party of India (Marxist) had been winning the Azhikode constituency through bogus voting, intimidation of voters and presiding officers and poll rigging. Use of voters' lists with voters' photos in the coming election would be an obstacle to the CPI(M)'s moves to resort to `foul means' in the constituency, he said adding that the CPI(M) was now trying to create tension in the constituency. Mr. Ramakrishnan displayed a page of voters' list in the constituency at the press meet to say that one K. Santhosh whose name figured in the list was a CPI(M) councillor in the Taliparamba municipality. He said the UDF booth agents would oppose such cases bogus votes. The inaction on the part of the Kerala Dinesh Beedi workers, who formed the support base of the CPI(M) in the constituency, and the frustration of pro-CPI(M) weavers in party-controlled weavers' co-operative societies would help the Communist Marxist Party (CMP) candidate, C.M. Ajeer.
