Ending solar strike gave rise to suspicion, says CPI

KOTTAYAM: The report of the CPI harshly criticized the CPM for ending the solar strike seeking the resignation of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy. The report says one cannot say that it is baseless the suspicion that the strike ended after a compromise.  

A suspicion grew amongst the people and those attending the strike that there was a deal between the CPM and the UDF for withdrawing the secretariat siege as part of solar strike. A suspicion grew after some incidents happened in the Kerala politics then.

The decline of the CPI (M) helped the BJP to grow. In the Lok Sabha polls, the BJP strongly encroached Left Front’s influential areas. The report of district secretary C K Shashidharan said it is the fault of the CPM that they were not able to prevent it. RSP leaving the front is also one of the reasons cited. The report says the CMP and the JSS are cooperating with the front as per the interests of CPM.

A new district secretary will be selected tomorrow after completing talks. It is heard that Shashidharan, who has completed a term, will continue.
