Campaign of Wayanad CPI candidate Annie Raja gets support from Kuki community

Manipur connection to Kerala polls

IT'S not just LDF workers who are pouring all their energy into the campaign of their candidate Annie Raja in Wayanad. Kuki community activist in Manipur, Glady Vaiphei Hunjan, and several victims of the police brutality that unfolded in Sathyamangalam forests over the manhunt for bandit Veerappan are also on Annie's campaign trail as a show of support to the CPI leader who helped them in their fight for justice.

The CPI is contesting four out of the total 20 Lok Sabha seats in the state. CPI state secretary Binoy Viswam announced the party candidates for the four seats Monday after the party's state executive meeting in Thiruvananthapuram.

Annie, who also serves as a member of the national executive of CPI, is the wife of CPI general secretary D Raja and one of the prominent party leaders in Delhi.
