Political controversies make CPI(M) grassroots workers anxious, says FB post of VS’s son
The leadership should come forward and speak openly to the people and defend itself politically, says V.A. Arun Kumar
A cryptic Facebook post by V.A. Arun Kumar, son of the late communist leader V.S. Achuthanandan, has sparked conversations about the 'crisis' within the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] following recent revelations from the Enforcement Directorate concerning the investigation against T. Veena, daughter of Pinarayi Vijayan, Leader of the Opposition.
Arun Kumar expressed that the ongoing political controversies and campaigns have understandably caused anxiety among the grassroots workers of the CPI(M). He emphasized that it is a natural democratic process for the leadership to address the situation openly and defend itself politically. However, he stressed the importance of remembering that the movement's foundation lies in the faith of generations of poor individuals who have contributed their blood and sweat to the cause.
During times of crisis, the party must take caution at every stage to maintain its credibility in the eyes of ordinary people. Arun Kumar urged that the Left movement thrives when it avoids mistakes, operates transparently, and dispels doubts among the people. He concluded by quoting his father's timeless advice: the people are the true masters of this political movement, and their trust is the movement's most valuable asset.
