The arrival of Thomas is an advantage for the left
It would be a political achievement for the CPM to bring KV Thomas, who has been at loggerheads with the Congress leadership for a long time, to the left. These moves will benefit the CPM, especially ahead of the Thrikkakara by-election. Kodiyeri Balakrishnan had made it clear yesterday that KV Thomas would not be the way forward if he had to leave the Congress.

After the second Pinarayi government came to power, the main strategy that the CPM is trying to implement is to change the Congress leaders who are in cahoots with the leadership. Former Union Minister KV Thomas will be the biggest gainer for the CPM so far if the Congress is ready to leave the party altogether. The party leaders had made it clear that the CPM would be with KV Thomas if the Congress expelled him or himself.

The CPM is also giving a strong response to the Congress, which had declared that it was possible for us to oppose the BJP at the national level by bringing KV Thomas to the party congress platform, which is planning political moves against the BJP.
According to party sources, KV Thomas, a prominent Congress leader from Ernakulam, will be joining the CPM in the run-up to the Thrikkakara by – election. When KV Thomas joins the CPM, there are barriers to consideration for party positions in terms of age. However, the CPM will be able to co-operate as a co-traveler. It should come as no surprise that KV Thomas will be the candidate in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The CPM is also likely to offer a number of opportunities to the former Union Minister, including the post of Chairman of the Administrative Reforms Commission.
