P.K. Sasi to contest as UDF-backed Independent in Ottappalam
P.K. Sasi, an expelled CPI(M) leader, will contest the Ottapalam Assembly seat as an Independent candidate after the Congress refused to allot him its 'hand' symbol. The UDF, which initially planned to field Mr. Sasi on the Congress symbol, decided to support his independent candidacy following objections from local party leaders. Mr. Sasi was recently expelled from the CPI(M) for criticizing its leadership and has since vowed to expose "wrongdoers" within the party.
