Pro-VS posters appear in T’puram

Sunday, June 03, 2012: The support for veteran CPM leader VS Achuthanandan from the party cadres is evidently increasing.
On Sunday, posters supporting the Opposition leader appeared in various parts of the district, with VS loyalists declaring him ‘true Communist’ through the posters.
Several posters declaring support for Achuthanandan appeared near Karikkakom area. Meanwhile in a major development which might trigger repercussions in the CPM, Achuthanandan yesterday made a surprise visit to the house of RMP leader T P Chandrasekharan, who was hacked to death by unidentified assailants last month.
Achuthanandan, who has been at loggerheads with the state CPI-M leadership, reached the slain Revolutionary Marxist Party leader’s house near here and spent about 45 minutes consoling Chandrasekharan’s mother, wife and son.
Thousands of RMP activists and supporters of Achuthanandan had lined the narrow lane leading to Chandrasekharan’s house to have a glimpse of the veteran leader.
The visit comes a day after he slammed the state party leadership and his bete noire Pinarayi Vijayan for finding fault with the media and the police team probing the murder.
