Most of the political observers describe Vadakara as a Left Fort even after the congress party had won Lok Sabha polls continuously. The hatred of political murders that spread in the soil of Onchiyam came as votes and defeated the Left front. The CPM is now facing the polls by fielding a strong candidate in the constituency which they lost for a few votes last time. However the congress has fielded a powerful candidate in the constituency now. A high voltage clash between the two will be witnessed now. K Muraleedharan, former congress chief and son of veteran leader K Karunakaran, has been named as the UDF candidate for the Vadakaran Lok Sabha polls. The RMP had announced their support before the congress announced the name of the UDF candidate. The Facebook post of writer Saradakutty on this is the most talked about.

K K Rema will seek votes for K Karunakaran’s son Murali. The post begins saying that the candidate represents the political movement of his father and reminds the tears of Eachara Warrier and his wife who lost their son during emergency. This is similar to the tears of K K Rema who lost her husband. Meantime many have asked why blaming son for what his father had done. In reply for that, she posted that Murali represents his father’s political movement. Meantime, the silence of cultural leaders on the political murders witnessed recently was also questioned.
