PV Anwar has expressed dissatisfaction over the UDF's decision to field Aryadan Shoukath as the candidate for the Nilambur by-election, citing that he was not consulted. He hinted at the possibility of contesting himself, stating that his resignation was not to make someone else an MLA. Reports suggest that the UDF may not yield to Anwar's pressure tactics but might engage in talks with him. Meanwhile, AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal clarified that the Congress will announce a candidate based on merit, not religion or caste.
