Kerala Assembly elections: Electoral focus shifts on to VS Achuthanandan

Thiruvananthapuram: The electoral focus is gradually shifting to Opposition Leader V.S. Achuthanandan with the veteran leader emerging as the top campaigner for the LDF after his current round of electioneering that began from Kasargod on April 20.

The ongoing online war between Achuthanandan and Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Facebook, besides hogging the headlines in print and electronic media, has become the major talking point during the election campaign.

While Mr Chandy tried to corner Achuthanandan accusing him of changing his stand on contentious issues like SNC Lavalin case, T.P. Chandrashekharan murder and R. Balakrishna Pillai, the veteran hit back in his conventional style reminding the CM of the moves that he led to oust K. Karunakaran in the nineties.
