The State of Kerala is also following the Tamilian way of electioneering for the crucial Assembly bypoll in Aruvikkara. The constituency got a celebrity touch with film stars Suresh Gopi and Innocent appearing on the scene to take the campaigning to an excited mood. More popular film stars are expected to tour the constituency on coming days turning it as place of unthinking people.
Kerala was once pompous of not fielding film stars as election candidates and often condemned the folly of people of Tamil Nadu running after film stars. Bur now the “Shotgun” Suresh Gopi adds colour to the BJP campaign for its candidate O Rajagopal, former Union Minister. The Leftist MP Innocent, the most popular film comedian of Kerala with his humour-rich speeches, campaigns for Marxist candidate M Vijayakumar. Another film star Mukesh also campaigns for Vijayakumar. And at the same time actress Khushboo and another popular film actress are expected to campaign for its candidate KS Sabarinathan.
Thus the whole election scenario has turned into a film picnic spot turning the people of Aruvikkara a thoughtless lot.
