Use of fake ID cards in Youth Cong polls echoes in Kerala Assembly

Thiruvanthapuram: The fake election ID cards allegedly used for the state Youth Congress organisational polls in Kerala were raised in the Assembly by ruling party members on Friday and the Congress-led opposition accused the Left government of trying to divert attention from the issues affecting it.

The fake ID cards issue was raised during the question hour when the opposition members attacked the Left over the alleged online communal campaigning in the Vadakara constituency during the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls.

As the question hour was progressing, CPI(M) leader and Varkala MLA, V Joy, raised a question regarding a case registered after the allegations that fake election ID cards were used during the Kerala State Youth Congress election that was held last year.
