"NOW, people are coming forward offering financial support to contest. They are extending help with ₹5,000, ₹2,000 and ₹1,000. Several people are asking me to file the nomination paper and rest comfortably, and they will take care of matters. If all people start saying not to stay away from the by-election, what can I do?" he asked. "Common people are asking me to contest. We have two more days. Let me see," said Anvar.

Earlier in the day, Anvar had told reporters that he will not join the UDF and that, although he wished to, he will not contest from Nilambur. He accused Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan of preventing him from being included in the UDF. "Satheesan will have to pay a heavy price for this, and the UDF will not win in Nilambur without me," said Anvar. He said he will continue as an 'outspoken' person for the public.
