Fight is between UDF and LDF: A.K Antony

Thrissur: Senior Congress leader A K Antony Saturday said the real fight in the state for the May 16 Assembly election was between the UDF and the LDF.

“The fight at Manjeshwaram is between the UDF and the BJP,” Antony, however, said.

Antony said BJP's call for a third force in the state was the "beginning of danger" in the state.

Congress is the only party that can challenge BJP at the national level, he told a press meet in Thrissur.

Antony also came down on the LDF and wanted the Front to come out with its clear stand on liquor policy.

"Our policy is very clear. No closed bars would be opened. Availability of liquor would be reduced with an aim to have total prohibition in 10 years time", he said adding this is mentioned in UDF's manifesto.

But, LDF manifesto was no specific about their liquor policy. LDF should declare whether they would re-open the closed foreign liquor bars or not, Antony said.
