The United Democratic Front (UDF) has alleged finding weapons in a car that was part of the motorcade that took part in the electioneering finale of Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate in Alathur K. Radhakrishnan on Wednesday.
Surveillance camera footage of the vehicle carrying the weapons was released by the UDF on Thursday. It accused the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] of trying to scuttle the elections.
However, the CPI(M) said that they were the tools used for removing campaign boards of Mr. Radhakrishnan. Police said they were investigating the matter.
The UDF has alleged that Mr. Radhakrishnan had visited persons with criminal backgrounds in jail.
UDF candidate in Alathur Ramya Haridas said that the LDF, the CPI(M) in particular, was trying to torpedo the elections.
