What are the expectations when you contest as an independent candidate in Nilambur?

I have good support from the people. I'm not the candidate; every voter in Nilambur is. The issues I have raised in this area, all sections of the population, all political parties, all religious groups, and those who are apolitical and who think against 'Pinarayism' are candidates with me. This will be an election that changes the political history of Kerala. It will bring a realisation to all political leaders. This election will also correct the misconception that people are slaves.
