KT Jaleel - LDF

• Some of my projects, like the sea bridge connecting Ponnani and Padinjarekkara, are still in the initial phase. I will complete them on priority. Steps will also be taken to ensure proper water supply to all households.
• We will always have to face opponents in a democratic process like elections. The fight is political. It’s not about individuals.
• I’ll dedicate more time to ensure farmers’ welfare.
• Did not comment.  
• I read books and watch movies to enjoy any free time I get.

Firoz Kunnamparambil - UDF

• Water supply is an issue. Edappal overbridge construction is also moving at a snail’s pace.
• I’d rather not talk about others..
• I’ll ensure farmers receive the benefits of all welfare schemes launched by state & Central govts.
• I’ll work for the welfare of not just the coastal community, but the people from all sections of the society.
• I’m always engaged in charity work. I don’t have any other  special way of spending time.

 RAMESH KP - NDA

• Traffic congestion in Edappal is a major issue. If elected, I’ll take steps to complete overbridge construction in six months.
• My opponents are under the shadow of doubt for criminal activity. But I’m an open book. People know this.
• I will introduce them to new farming technologies to increase production. I’ll also help them avail the benefits of state and Central government schemes.
• The plan is to coordinate with national, international varsities to set up a higher education complex here. Students from coastal areas will get preference.
