Sale of CPM mouthpiece land to Chakku haunts party

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A new controversy has broken out in the CPM after the land of party mouthpiece Deshabhimani in Manjalikkulam in the capital city was sold to controversial industrialist V M Radhakrishnan alias Chakku Radhakishnan.  The daily’s 32.5 cents and the building were sold for 3.30 crores to Radhakrishnan’s Capital City Hotels & Developers Private Limited based in Coimbatore.

The registration procedures were held at the sub registrar office in East Fort on July 17 in 2012.  The land was not directly bought by Radhakrishnan. Instead the deal took place after making Danish K Chacko, a native of Thiruvalla and an employee of the charitable society where Radhakrishnan is a member, as the mediator.

The documents produced before the registrar between June 2 and 11 mentioned   Radhakrishnan as the managing director. But on July 6th, Radhakrishnan resigned his managing director’s post and it was replaced by Danish. When the deal took place Danish was the MD. Form 32 given to the registrar after three days included the name of Radhakrishnan. It has been alleged that this is to hide the deal between the CPM and Chakku Radhakrishnan.

The advertisement of Radhakrishnan’s Surya Group carried in the party mouthpiece during the CPM plenum in Palakkad had created a controversy.
