KOCHI: The CPM leadership has denied media reports that chief minister and politburo member Pinarayi Vijayan had spoken against a political alliance with the Congress in the central committee meeting.
CPM politburo member M A Baby said Vijayan had not even spoken at the central committee meeting held in Delhi over the past three days. "The reports in a section of the media are baseless. Had he spoken at the meeting, somebody (media) could have distorted it to substantiate the claim, but he hadnt spoken at all," he said.
The CPM central committee meeting, which concluded on Sunday, discussed the outline of the draft political resolution that included forming a broader political alliance to fight the BJP.
