Hello
For Thrissur, the CPI is favouring former minister VS Sunil Kumar.
He was made acting secretary immediately after the death of Kanam Rajendran.
Kanam had suggested handing over the temporary charge of the state secretaryship to Binoy Viswam, a member of the CPI central secretariat, while he took leave for treatment.
His right foot had to be amputated following acute diabetes and an infection.
Raja's name was unanimously approved by the party for the top post at the 24th Party Congress at Vijayawada on Tuesday.
However, state secretary Kanam Rajendran reacted the other day that the party will review the actions of both leaders.
Over three days, the party will discuss the political and working reports.
From its initial stand of giving blind support to the project, the CPI has veered round to the view that there should be modifications in the existing project to allay the apprehensions raised by various quarters.
Kanam made his displeasure publicly known in the backdrop of severe criticisms aired at the CPI State Council meeting against the action of the Higher Education Minister.
