Kozhikode: It is reported that party supporters were secretly asked to vote for Karat Faisal for the local self-government election at Chundapppuram division of Koduvally Municipality. The LDF candidate secured 0 votes in the election and it became a huge controversy. The party workers visited the homes of supporters and told them to vote for Karat Faisal.
LDF had withdrawn its support to Karat Faisal after his candidature was announced at the LDF convention by PTA Rahim MLA. Following this, INL leader and Koduvally Service Cooperative Bank President, OP Rashid was made the LDF candidate.
Karat Faisal dismissed party’s decision to withdraw from the election after his candidacy became controversial. Moreover, he was even more determined to contest and win the election.
