Puthupally

Brisk voting took place in the by-election for the Puthuppally assembly constituency in Kerala's Kottayam district in the first half of Tuesday, with the turnout exceeding 50 per cent by 2 pm, as intermittent rainfall did not deter voters.

Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy who is contesting as the Congress-led UDF candidate from Puthupally constituency for 11th time in a row, today filed his nomination papers for the May 16 assembly polls.

Church of South India's Madhya Kerala Bishop Thomas K Oommen took a morning walk in Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy's hometown of Puthupally to press the government for a more stringent anti-liquor policy.

Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has been so busy a man during the four decades of his public life that he was not around when any of his three children was born. And his wife once had to send him a letter to complain about the new cook at their official residence.

It was this day 42 years ago that Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy was sworn in as a legislator for the first time. Since then, he has won nine successive elections, all from the Puthupally constituency in Kottayam.
