Kerala CPM split over VS action

Jul 17, 2009


The CPM’s Kerala state committee, convened to report the disciplinary action against Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan, expressed doubts about the efficacy of the central committee’s solution to end factionalism in the state unit.

Sources said a general fear among the loyalists of state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan was that going by the past record of Achuthanandan, he could not be expected to reined in by the restrictions put imposed by the party.

Earlier, while reporting the central committee’s decision to remove Achuthanandan from the Politburo, party general secretary Prakash Karat had asked the state unit to accommodate the Chief Minister in the interest of a smooth coordination between the state government and the party. He had also told VS to comply with the party’s directions. A special meeting of the state secretariat and the committee would be held next month to ensure better coordination between the party and the government.
