‘Pana’rayi case will be fought financially too!

It is unfortunate that the Kerala faction of the CPM have decided to collect money from the public to meet the expenses of the court case proceedings against Pinarayi Vijayan. The CPM originally decided to fight the case both politically and legally have now decided to fight the case financially too. The CPM is willing to go to protect its corrupt leader in a corrupt way. The poor man’s party has assembled to hold up poor man’s thief. The peace loving people of Kerala will give the money to the party to avert the threat from CPM goons. There are instances in the past that if money they asked is not given, the goons will stone pelt the houses and torch the shops.

Seemingly the central leadership has involvement in the Lavalin scam and hence Achuthanandan's expectation that the party Politburo would act against Vijayan has been shattered. Everyone in Kerala believes Pinarayi Vijayan is involved in the biggest corruption scandal. His lifestyle with bullets in bag has been the theme of ridicule for long and people have aptly named him 'Pana(money)rayi'. With the money he collected illegally he has won the support of leaders of his own breed like Kodiyeri, Sudhakaran , Thomas Isaac, Baby and Sreemathi. It is now party’s choice to control the wrong doings of the sons of these leaders.

It is time for central leadership to put an end to unlawful collection of money to protect a corrupt leader. The Lavalin case must be fought legitimately without harassing the people.
