He was followed by a battery of reporters but the veteran headed for his home near here at Punnapara, and did not speak to anyone Sources in the know of things said he was deeply hurt after a party report, tabled at meeting Friday which has more than 50 pages attacking the party veteran for his constant breach of party discipline, was being discussed. On Friday evening, state party secretary Pinarayi Vijayan went hammer and tongs against his arch rival and after an hour, Achuthanandan hit back at Vijayan.
Trouble between the two has been a long standing problem for the cadre party and over the years, Vijayan’s hold on the party has turned stronger, while Achuthanandan has been losing his ground in the party.
