Two great warriors

Kerala Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan said here that his fight against corruption would continue and there would be no compromise on his ideologies in this regard. This he said on the backdrop of CPM Politburo describing the CBI charge sheet against Kerala secretary of the party Pinarayi Vijayan in the SNC Lavalin case as “politically motivated”. On the other hand Pinarayi Vijayan said the case against him in the SNC Lavalin would be fought legally and of course politically. These two great warriors while fighting each other often forget the needs of the state and their fight resembles one that was fought by K Karunakaran and his opponent A K Antony years back.

Undoubtedly the people of Kerala think that the fight continues because of the sheer incapability of the Opposition parties like the Congress, League and the Bharatiya Janata Party to take stock of the situation. The Congress anticipates an easy entry to power not because of their merit but of the follies of the CPM. Look at the face two ministers V S Achuthanandan and G Sudhakaran staged side by side for the inauguration of the Info Park at Purakkad. If face is the mirror of the mind then one could read a lot from their faces. The flatterer Minister Sudhakaran at the meeting praised VS a lot emphasizing the earlier finding of someone that this minister is nutty. The attack on Mangalam daily at Palakkad shows the intolerance of CPM cadres against reality. It is the culture this fascist party to attack physically the persons and sections that criticise the them.
