PALA: Mani C. Kappan’s victory in Pala was an unexpected one as he even brushed away exit poll results. Most didn’t expect this, as some UDF activists were even overconfident. The fate of such an activist who had to tonsure his head following the defeat of UDF is going viral on social media.

The UDF activist was so sure of Jose Tom’s victory that he made a bet that he’ll tonsure his head if the result is otherwise. LDF activist Binoy also said that he’ll shave his head if Kappan loses. Finally, when the result came out, it was the UDF activist who had to shave.

By securing 54137 votes, LDF candidate Mani C Kappan won with a majority of 2943 votes over Jose Tom who got 51194 votes. NDA candidate N. Hari could only garner 18044.
