KANNUR: K Sudhakaran announced his own name for the Kannur Lok Sabha polls. UDF activists accorded him a reception at the Kannur railway station. Though his name was not announced officially, he was accorded reception as his candidature has been approved in principle.

The Congress is returning back into the political centre stage. The situation is the same in Kerala also. This election is against two fascist forces. The main agenda of elections is violent politics and promises of violation. The UDF in the state is facing polls bearing in mind the emotions of the martyrs killed in violence in Kannur, Kasargod and Malappuram.

I have landed in Kannur with the announcement that the UDF and the Congress is ready to overcome any political crisis, he said.
