His dotage underestimated.

The Marxist bosses are playing with the age of leader VS Achuthanandan. They think the octogenarian leader is not too young to make any effective rebellion against the leadership. However they fear that he could upset them again by taking a totally unanticipated line.

‘Mistakes’ done by Acuthuthanadan are only corrective measures against the leadership. But with brut majority in the party the official faction puts the doings of Acuthanandan as mistakes. While Achuthanandan himself has already indicated that he would not admit his “mistake” then why the leadership waiting for VS admit the mistakes publicly?

There are some pre-calculated plans for the official faction of the party against Achuthanandan. Presumably these plans will not work according to their calculation and plan. It will be foolish to underestimate Achuthanandan and his dotage.
