Kerala on Tuesday converted polling into a festival of democracy with voting percentage touching a whopping 76.50; and the counting was still on.

Two senior citizens collapsed and died while waiting to cast their vote in two Lok Sabha constituencies, while another elderly person shortly after exercising his franchise in Kerala Tuesday.

The malfunctioning was pointed out by none other than Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan who said that election officials appear to have failed to ensure that the EVMs worked properly.

Out of the 115 Lok Sabha seats going to polls in the third phase, over 30 constituencies spread across Assam, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and West Bengal have substantial Muslim population.

A hectic and noisy campaign came to an end at 6 pm on Sunday in Kerala which is witnessing one of the most tough triangular contests.

The Lok Sabha elections have already kickstarted, Congress President Rahul Gandhi began his poll campaign in Kerala’s Wayanad today.

The Commissioner of Entrance Examination (CEE) Kerala has released admit cards for Kerala Engineering, Architecture and Medical and Pharmacy Courses (KEAM-2019).

PM Modi launched his party’s Kerala campaign by harping on the sensitive issue of the Hindus – Sabarimala, often called the Ayodhya of the south for its controversies. At Kozhikode on Friday night, he did not refer Sabarimala or invoke Lord Ay­y­a­ppa by name as the Chief Electoral Officer Teeka Ram Meena had imposed a ban on using Lord Ayyappa or Sabarimala to solicit votes.

The accused forwarded her images on WhatsApp to the victim’s husband and friends.

Despite a clampdown by the Election Commission against its use in campaigning, it is apparent that Sabarimala will be a most crucial factor in deciding the outcome of the Lok Sabha elections in Kerala.
