V. Kunhikrishnan rejects Pinarayi’s charge, says Payyannur verdict reflects CPI(M)’s failures
The Payyannur MLA says there has been no attempt to correct the organisational and political shortcomings in the CPI(M)
Former Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) leader V. Kunhikrishnan has rejected Opposition Leader Pinarayi Vijayan's charge that internal moves to weaken the CPI(M) and alliances with other parties caused the party's defeat in the Payyannur Assembly constituency in the recent elections. Kunhikrishnan stated that the party leadership should investigate its own shortcomings and the reasons for the voters' verdict.
He rebuffed Vijayan's allegation of attempts within the party to undermine its integrity and form connections detrimental to the party. Kunhikrishnan also questioned the CPI(M) appeal for those who went astray to return after rectifying their errors, hinting that the leadership had not offered any assurance that they would accept them if they reconciled with the party.
