Wayanad: Maoists have put up posters and banners in Wayanad asking citizens to boycott the upcoming Lok Sabha election and join their group. According to sources, a letter had also been sent to the Wayanad Press Club which stated that the group was seeking support to boycott the election.
Congress candidate Rahul Gandhi, NDA candidate Thushar Vellappally and CPI candidate PP Suneer are the key candidates from Wayanad. Kerala Police have been on high alert in Wayanad after Maoist leader CP Jaleel was killed during an alleged exchange of fire with police on March 6 this year.
Wayanad became a ‘high-profile’ constituency after Rahul Gandhi’s candidature was declared. Security has been tightened in the hilly district.
