Achuthanandan visits TP Chandrasekharan’s house

Saturday, June 02, 2012: Opposition leader and CPM veteran V S Achuthanandhan on Saturday visited late Revolutionary Marxist Party leader TP Chandrasekharan’s house at Onchiyam.
The visit, in all probability, will accentuate divisions in the CPI(M). Achuthanandan visited TP’s house soon after Pinarayi Vijayan and Poliburo member S Ramachandra Pillai met him at the Kozhikode guest guest.
Achuthanandan personally met TP’s wife Rema and other family members and held talks with senior RMP leaders. Several party cadres had flocked TP’s house. Chandrasekharan, 51, was killed in Onchiyam near here Friday night while returning home on a two-wheeler.
Chandrasekharan, once a prominent CPI(M) leader in the party stronghold Onjiyam in Kozhikode district, was expelled a few years ago after he fell out with the leadership.
He later joined the RMP floated by CPI(M) rebels and wrested control of Onjiyam village panchayat, ending decades-old rule of the CPI(M).
