LDF sitting MLA Mukesh, UDF Bindu Krishna and NDA M. Has fielded Sunil
As the election went into its most intense phase, Kollam constituency, the district’s city center, hit the headlines. With all three fronts going completely to woo voters, the segment is all set to see a deep contest.
MLA and actor-turned-politician M. Mukesh is seeking the people’s mandate as the Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate for the second time, with the United Democratic Front (UDF) fielding District Congress Committee (DCC) president Shindu Krishna. M. of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), former district president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Sunil is
This section consists of 25 departments of Kollam Corporation and nearby Panchayats of Panayam and Thrikkaruva.
While M. Mukesh’s candidacy caused considerable stir within the Communist Party of India (Marxist). [CPI(M)] The name of the local units, Ms. Krishna, was announced after much ado in the previous round. Mr Mukesh, who was tagged as an ‘absentee legislator’ by his political opponents, was the first person to go to the polls in the constituency.
Progress
So far they have a clear path on the campaign front and the candidate lists development works worth ₹ 1,330 crore to challenge the taunt of the ‘guest representative’. Ms. Krishna faced severe criticism from a Congress faction after the party’s poor performance during the local civic elections and the DCC president was shocked when the Congress leadership offered him a kundara instead of Kollam. But in the next phase everything was played in her favor and Ms. Krishna wasted no time in launching an aggressive campaign.
United Democratic Front candidate Bindu Krishna.
Mr Sunil, who contested as BJP candidate in Chavara in 2016, is keeping his fingers crossed as the front-run local body may make a remarkable leap in the elections.
Since the section has a coastal area that includes backwaters in Pandim, Kurepuzha and Thrikkuruva as well as Vaddi, Port Kollam, Thangassery and Thirumulavaram, the phishers make up a large proportion of the electorate.
Although Kollam favored the Congress or the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP) in earlier elections, the CPI (M) first wrested the seat in 2006. PK Gurudasan won the seat in 2006 and 2011, while M. Mukesh retained it in 2016. Mr. Mukesh is riding high on development and welfare measures, with Ms. Krishna banking on her popularity in the segment, especially among fishermen and cashew workers.

Although UDF’s NK Premachandran received a margin of 24,545 votes in the constituency during the last Lok Sabha elections, the LDF was able to retain Kollam Corporation with a majority for a fifth consecutive term and the figures leave both fronts with hope .
