Organised attempt under way to weaken LDF, alleges K.P. Rajendran
CPI national executive member says Left must not fall into the trap set by its political opponents and sections of right-wing media
An alleged organised effort to weaken the Left Democratic Front (LDF) was put forth by Communist Party of India (CPI) national executive member K.P. Rajendran on Sunday, as he accused anti-Left forces and right-wing media elements of collaborating against the alliance, according to a report in <source 2531fbf1-8af>. Rajendran inaugurated a two-day district-level party school arranged by the CPI in Veliyannur, Thrissur.
He cautioned party workers to avoid falling into the trap set by LDF opponents. Rajendran affirmed that the Left would return to the parliamentary stage with enhanced strength, dismissing those who drew sweeping conclusions about the future of the Left based on a short-term electoral setback. He emphasized that the CPI would not permit the weakening of the LDF and believed that internal disputes within the alliance could be resolved through dialogue and collective consultation.
Rajendran also staunchly defended former Chief Minister C. Achutha Menon, alleging attempts to tarnish his reputation and label him as corrupt. Menon, he declared, was a robust Chief Minister who established the groundwork for constructing a contemporary Kerala. Rajendran urged those familiar with historical facts to reject such accusations with disdain.
He urged Kerala society to study Menon’s accomplishments and strive to execute the development blueprint for a new Kerala he envisioned. The inaugural function of the CPI district school was chaired by CPI district secretary K.G. Sivanandan, with sessions led by CPI State council member T.K. Sudheesh, poet P.N. Gopikrishnan, and CPI national council member and MLA K. Rajan.
