CPM is imploding

The ruling CPI(M) in Kerala is protecting the offenders behind the SNC Lavalin scam who siphoned off money from the State exchequer. Except Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan all neo-liberals in the party are trying to protect Mr Pinarayi Vijayan, the ninth accused in the scam. They even asked pseudo-intellects like Mr KEN Kunjahamed to come out openly against Mr Achuthanandan. By protecting the corrupt and attacking the Chief Minister — the person who is responsible for getting the party to power in Kerala — these people will take Kerala CPI(M) to its grave.
