Thiruvananthapuram: The writing on the wall is clear. To leave no one in doubt, the UDF leaders chose a compound wall at Pattoor on Wednesday to write the word ‘Padayorukkam’ (war preparation)—the title of the month-long state-wide yatra to be taken out by opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala from Manjeshwaram on November 1.
The yatra in protest against the ‘betrayal’ of the voters by the LDF and BJP governments will conclude here on December 1. While senior Congress leader A. K. Antony will flag off the ‘Padayorukkuam,’ the concluding rally will be inaugurated by AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi.
Those who attended the graffiti writing on a public wall included Mr Chennithala, KPCC president M. M. Hassan, former chief minister Oommen Chandy, Muslim League national general secretary P. K. Kunhalikutty, UDF convener P. P. Thankachan, RSP state secretary A. A. Azeez, Forward Bloc leader G. Devarajan, and Thiruvananthapuram DCC president Neyyatinkara Sanal.
