VS is scapegoat

It would be wrong to single out Kerala Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan for the CPI(M)’s electoral drubbing in this year’s Lok Sabha election in the State. The truth is that the party has lost touch with the ground reality in Kerala. Its poor showing in the polls was largely due to the SNC Lavalin scam and CPI(M) State secretary Pinarayi Vijayan’s decision to ally with the People’s Democratic Party of Abdul Naser Madani. Also, the shortcomings of the State Education Minister and the Health Minister, the skyrocketing prices of essential commodities and the abusive ways of the Co-operation Minister contributed to the party’s rout in the election.
