The 88-year-old founder leader of CPI(M) is terribly upset over the brutal killing of the Marxist rebel TP Chandrasekharan recently which is master-minded by some CPI M leaders of Kerala. The waging of an open war by VS has shocked not only the Kerala cadres but also the central leadership and the Polit Bureau.
As everyone knows Mr Achuthanadan enjoys the support and following of the majority of communist workers in Kerala even though his elevation in the central committee is blocked by some of the powerful leaders like Pinarayi Vijayan and Kodiyeri Balakrishnan.
The popular opinion of the party workers is that VS is a man of the masses and is suppressed by the leadership from entering the central committee. Even during the previous elections, they tried their best not to give a seat to VS to contest for the Assembly polls but the verdict of the people trembled the leadership and made them rethink in favour of VS.
Today's incident is viewed as a major jolt for the whole of the party in Kerala in the long run and the ensuing Neyyattinkara by-poll immediately. The rift in the CPI(M) is considered a boon for the UDF which is struggling to come to a consensus ahead of the nearing by-elections on June 2nd...!
