Anti-Congress politics core theme at party congress: Satheesan

Anti-Congress politics is the core theme of discussion every day at the 23rd Communist Party of India (Marxist) party congress in Kannur, Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has said.

The reflection of the unholy nexus the State unit of the CPI(M), led by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, has formed with the Sangh Parivar through middlemen is clear at the party congress, he told mediapersons here on Saturday.

He said the same mediators, who worked for ending the investigation by the Central agencies against the Left Democratic Front government and acted as a link between Mr. Vijayan and Modi, were behind the attempts to create anti-Congress politics at the CPI(M) party congress.

“The CPI(M) in the State has given a promise to the Sangh Parivar leadership to scuttle the CPI(M) central leadership’s attempts to form an alliance with the Congress in the country against the Bharatiya Janata Party. They are ready to go to any extent to fail the Congress. With the Kannur party congress, the CPI(M) has moved to the extreme right,” Mr. Satheesan said.

He said the party State committee was controlling the CPI(M) national leadership. The Kannur party congress would be recorded in history as a party meet in which the national leadership did not have a voice.
