PALAKKAD: Kottikalasam in Palakkad assembly constituency bringing an end to the hectic public campaign. After a day of silent campaigning tomorrow, the voters of the constituency will write their verdict on Wednesday. Along with the candidates of all three main fronts, prominent leaders also came to kottikalasam, which was a source of excitement for the activists. Accompanied by a massive roadshow, the city was turning into a crowd.

The campaigning period in the constituency, where there is a strong triangular contest, was full of controversies, allegations and counter-allegations.

UDF candidate Rahul Mankoottathil, Shafi Parambil, PC Vishnunath and actor Ramesh Pisharody attended the roadshow and kottikalasam. Rahul and his party workers came to the kottikalasam with a blue trolley bag. Sandeep Warrier, who quit the BJP and joined the Congress, also participated in the event.
