Rift between CPI and CPM

If anyone thinks that the present rift between CPI and CPM is ideological, he is in fool’s paradise. It is all due to the new found friendship of CPI leaders with CPM veteran V S Achuthanandan. The most respectable leader has become the worst foe of neo-liberalistic leaders of CPM and that is what surfaced as the row over ‘event management’ or something of the sort. What is wrong in the words ‘event’ and ‘management’ when workers of the party do similar job for the summit?

The real loser in the present CPM imbroglio is former Finance Minister and the CPM ideologist Dr T M Thomas Isaac. Isaac was sent to corner by the official faction just because of his unsuccessful reckoning about the future of the party. The learned should also fail and that is what one see in the case of Isaac.


No doubt, the leaders of the CPI and CPM in the state have created confusion about the relationship between the LDF parties and it is not temporary as someone think. Any further humiliation or action against VS would result in extra rift in the Left Front.

Unkindest cut by Marxists

It is one of the unkindest cuts against the veteran leader V S Achuthanandan by the Marxists to call him as ‘class enemy’. It was former Kerala Industries Minister Elamaram Kareem, started calling VS as ‘class enemy’ and after years it was repeated even by low profile leaders of the CPM. The DYFI Secretary Swaraj demanding ‘capital punishment’ for VS has arisen from the rancour he accumulated by Achuthanandan’s statement denouncing his ‘fatherless’ comment.

The saddest thing is that all in the party had turned into flatterers of the secretary, who will reward them in future for telling off VS. Thanks to one Krishnadas, for his honest telling against the sycophantic approach of official faction leaders of the CPM.

The conglomerate of the official faction had done VS injustice by passing such repulsive remarks in the party meet without giving him an opportunity to be heard and that is too after getting sixty eight seats in the State Assembly only by Achuthanandan’s magic. It is the “unkindest cut of all,"and is never going to be pardoned by vast majority in the party who love VS and call him as ‘eye, or liver’.

Believe Son and not Father!

Seemingly the Kerala Marxists  are busy reading the famous work ‘Life of Christ “by Bishop Fulton J Sheen after the poster row in connection with their State summit. And it is the season for Kerala Marxists to study the life and work of Jesus Christ.  After M V Jayarajan and Pinarayi, veteran leader VS also came endorsing Jesus.

However,   trouble follows them and the latest is the row over a look alike picture of Jesus Christ's The Last Supper. No doubt the picture is controversial as it showed US President Barack Obama in the centre  flanked by "disciples" Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh, Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi, L.K. Advani,  Oommen Chandy and even  AK Antony. No doubt the Marxist party has hurt the sentiments of believers and owes an apology to the believers.

The CPM state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan’s statement that party workers have no role in preparing the posters is an insult to its cadres. If son of God Jesus is their new pathfinder, do Marxists endorse the God Himself?

Fingers pointing each other.

Both Defence Minister A K Antony and Army chief Gen V K Singh put the blame for the age controversy on the Army, saying it sat on the problem for 36 years. This seems rather curious as both Antony and Singh are the part of the Indian Army. As Antony has said the matter was with the Supreme Court and its verdict in this regard would be final and binding, then why he is making repeated comments on the subject. Has he got any intention to invite the attention of SC judges? I think the the Delhi winter has influenced Antony much and that is why he is making repeated comments. The General has seemingly submitted his application at entry stage with year of birth as 1950 as the requirement then was that. Now only he realized the advantage being it at 1951. The year 1950 or 51 will become meaningless after one year then why the General is making such a hue and cry over his date of birth? The General might not have taken the matter with the SC.

Unwanted Vakkom committee report.

The Vakkom Committe report to take corrective measures in State Congress was a unwanted document. Nobody gives any importance to it.  There are no takers for the statement of KPCC president Ramesh Chennithala that measures mentioned in the report would be put into effect soon.

However, the happening in the Congress is very much cheerful for the Opposition. The Kannur muscle man K Sudhakaran coming against Chief Minister Ommen Chandy against flex board row is not in the right perspective. Congress men are seen enthralled by the rule of the Congress lead UDF in the State. Unless refrain from further outburst it would be detrimental for the Congress and the UDF. Will the madam in the Centre see this?

Suresh and Chittilappalli.

The act of Kerala lottery vendor Suresh of Kerala who proved with his honesty by not caring to claim the Rs 1 crore for a ticket in his custody but borrowed from him by another is unparalleled in the history.  Suresh is a role model for all people who deal with money.

Nevertheless, the V-Guard owner Koachauseph , Chittilappalli, making advantage of the occasion by donating Rs 5lakh to Suresh is superfluous. Chittilappalli’s gesture would have been more meaningful if he had not promoted his business by airing obnoxious ads in channels. The ads of Valero and else what are horrible and a direct insult to viewers' psyche.  The money made from ugly business is unnecessary for a honest man like Suresh. I hope Chittilappaali’s money won't tempt Suresh to abandon his “Lakshamveedu” .
