KOZHIKODE: With just one day left to withdraw the nomination papers, the crisis still continues in UDF over who should contest in the Elathur seat. Senior Congress leaders will conduct talks with NCK on Monday.

Meanwhile, NCK candidate Sulfakir Mayuri said that UDF’s support is with him and BJD candidate Senin Roshan will withdraw his nomination papers. On Sunday, Mani C Kappan had made it clear that he will never give up the seat.

A section of Congress leaders has expressed their dissent over the candidature of Sulfakir Mayuri in Elathur. The DCC meeting which held on Sunday to pacify them and resolve the issue had ended in an open fistfight between the workers.
