Along with the rigidity of ideology, Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, who gained public favor beyond the party with his policy, was a third-time Communist Party activist. Kodiyeri, who was appointed to take the helm of the state leadership at the Alappuzha conference, has crossed Thrissur and become the face of the party in Ernakulam.
Kodiyeri’s leadership feels that we are the party. A leader who walks with activists. The gentle face of CPM politics. Kodiyeri became the party secretary during the height of sectarianism in the party. Then we saw the ice of sectarianism in the party. When the Ernakulam conference was over, the CPM claimed that the party had reached the perfection of sectarianism. Claims. Kodiyeri was ahead of the lion’s share of achievements. Excellence in carrying the front together.
Excellence in making the coordination between the government and the party flawless. Leadership that even rivals like. These are the reasons why he was elected as the secretary for the third term. When the party came to power for the first time in its history, the influence of Kodiyeri Balakrishnan was more than anyone else. Although the secretary was not in charge at the time of the assembly elections, if the party leaders had said that Kodiyeri Balakrishnan should be present in the seat discussions, it would have earned Kodiyeri’s credibility. Policy intervention whenever it seems that the government is in crisis. Responses. All of them made the controversy muted. Crisis mitigated. It filled the party workers, including the leaders, with energy. In the meanwhile, he had to step down due to health and family problems. The interval between whether public life itself is sufficient. But the subsequent comeback was even stronger. Kodiyeri, a five-time legislator from Thalassery, shone as Home Minister and Deputy Leader of the Opposition. Kodiyeri, who joined the PB at the party congress held in Coimbatore in 2008, was wearing the party state secretary’s shirt at the Alappuzha conference in 2015. The position was not shaken at the 2018 Thrissur conference either. Kodiyeri, who started his political career through the SFI in 1970, has been playing the role of SFI state secretary in state politics. He was the Home Minister in the VS Achuthanandan government from 2001-2006. The CPM’s development record and implementation of the Silver Line will be the challenge facing Kodiyeri in his new mission as party secretary.
