Kerala (Puthuppally): The Congress and the ruling Left will take on each other at the Puthuppally by-poll in Kerala, with the opposition party in the state banking on "anti-incumbency" and the late Oommen Chandy's legacy.The Congress-led opposition UDF has fielded Oommen Chandy's son, Chandy Oommen, which analysts view as an apparent strategy to capitalise on the sympathy wave following the former CM's death. Meanwhile, the ruling Left Front once again decided to go with DYFI leader Jaick C Thomas who had unsuccessfully contested the segment in 2016 and 2021 against the late Chandy.
