Kanyakumari fishing community not willing to take the politicians’ bait ahead of Lok Sabha election
The fishing community is a crucial deciding factor in the Kanyakumari constituency in Tamil Nadu. The controversial harbour could be a tipping point for the Congress as well as the BJP. Here's a ground report.
Nagercoil: The Nagercoil fishermen in Kanyakumari constituency of Tamil Nadu seem to be quite happy with the work that has been done over the last five years. However, their demand is to reduce taxes on fuel so as to make ends meet. This community alone can tip the scales for the Congress or the BJP and hence, politicians H Vasantha Kumar and Pon Radhakrishnan are doing all they can to woo these voters ahead of Lok Sabha election.
