AAP leader Sanjay Singh walks out of Tihar jail after 6 months

No friendly fight in Kerala, we are fighting against CPM-led LDF, says Congress leader V D Satheesan
"There is huge enthusiasm even after 5 years... I don't know why the CPI or CPM is sending the candidate to contest against him (Rahul Gandhi). He is the sitting MP from Wayanad. We all the leaders of Kerala of the UDF not only the Congress demanded that he has to contest from here. There is no friendly fight in Kerala, in all constituencies, we are fighting against the CPM-led LDF. In some 2-3 seats, the BJP presence is there but they are irrelevant in Kerala politics," ANI quoted Kerala LoP and Congress leader V D Satheesan as saying.
