The non-sense of “all acceptable candidate”

The search for ‘all acceptable candidate’ to Ponnani parliament seat in Kerala is a futile exercise by the State CPM unit. Does it mean that there is none in that party or its partners as acceptable by all? The idea of ‘ all acceptable candidate’ is a ploy by the CPM to snatch away one of the four seats of the CPI. The attitude shown by the CPI in this regard is notable but one is picked up of the earlier somersaults of CPI in similar issues. Had CPI some nerve they should never yield to the tactics of a purely fanatic group outside the Left Front. If CPI would not get the chance to field their candidate, it is meaningless for them to continue in the Front.

The LDF is now scheduled to announce the name of the candidate on March 12. If the seat goes to PDP it is desperate for Veliyam amd Bardhan. Nevertheless, the idea of “all acceptable candidate” is a claptrap and the chance for winning Ponnani by this no-name troublemaker is of remote scope.
