Kerala's CPM state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan has become philosophical at the climax of his Nav Kerala Yathra. Quoting Urdu lyrics (Does it exist?) he tried to deprecate the veteran Polit Bureau Member V S Achuthanandan and asked V S to join his group. Vijayan said individuals in the party drew their strength from the movement of which they were part of, just as a wave could have strength only when it was in the bosom of the sea. Nevertheless Vijayan overlooked the fact Achuthanandan is a more a part of sea than Vijayan. Applauds he receive in all meetings indicate what else? Not only that one could see ripple in a cup of water and that is what “Crime Editor” Nandakumar is doing against Pinarayi and his henchmen.
However, for me, it appears the reason for Pinrayi to become truth-seeking is on two counts. First one is the emotion displayed by a youth in Payyannur in hurling footwear at Vijayan. Though missed the target the incident put the party state secretary in a select league of leaders who have faced such missiles in recent times, including Chinese prime minister Wen Jiabao and former US president George Bush late last year. It is quite natural that when one is elevated to such esteem abruptly he involuntarily becomes truth- seeking. The second incident is the collapse of the platform set for Pinarayi’s function at Thiruvananthapuram Though Pinarayi escaped unhurt there is ample reason for him to think philosophically
The chappal-throwing incident and stage collapse have brought more attention to the Nav Kerala Yatra and that incited Vijayan to start his quest for eternal truth . The sea and wave story at Sangumughom sea shore is the outcome this recalling incidents in the Navakerala yathra.
