Kottayam: In what can be termed as unfair politics, two dupes, including a CPM local committee member, were fielded against UDF candidate and Kerala Congress (J) leader Francis Goerge in Kottayam seat. The two dupes are Francis George, a CPM Parathode local committee member, and Francis E George, a Kerala Congress (M) Thrissur district committee member.

“This is to deceive the voters and what is happening in Kottayam is against politica ethics. If  LDF is not aware of the dupes, then it should take action against the duo,” Francis George, also a former MP, said. 

Reiterating that the symbol is not an issue affecting the winnability, he said whatever symbol they get for the elections will be taught to the voters by going to them directly.
