The insulting remark of LDF convenor A Vijayaraghavan against Remya Haridas, the UDF candidate of Alathur constituency, is triggering a controversy.

Palakkad MLA Shafi Parambil came to the fore harshly criticising it. He has criticised Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and writers Deepa Nishanth and K R Meera in his Facebook page. He sarcastically said that if the 50 crore spent on women wall was used for something else like lighting sparklers, the people would have enjoyed it.

Vijayaraghavan will addressing an election convention in Ponanni said Remya Haridas had visited Kunhalikutty recently. I don’t know what will happen to her now.
