Kozhikode: “In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, I voted for the UDF to stop the BJP from coming back to power.
When Rahul Gandhi contested from Wayanad, we wanted him to be the Prime Minister,” says Abdur Rehman, a self-proclaimed LDF supporter.

Soon, there is a crowd around Rehman’s mini-truck in Koduvally town — arguing over the merits of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), a Congress ally, and CPM-led LDF.
The UDF candidate from Koduvally is IUML leader and two-time Kozhikode South MLA M K Muneer, while the LDF has repeated sitting MLA Karat Razaq.
Confusing the fact further is that Razaq used to be with the IUML.
