Kochi: Former CPM Kavalangad area secretary PN Nair has said that he is no longer active in politics. Balakrishnan. It was reported that Balakrishnan walked out of the CPM district convention yesterday after being removed from the district committee. ‘The mistake I made was pointing out the wrongdoings of the district leadership.
This was done the next morning by those who had laughed and shrugged their shoulders the day before. Not only was there an expectation that he would be expelled from the committee, but it is part of the conscious agenda that many over the age of 75, even when they are in the party, exclude me from the party, ”Balakrishnan told Manorama Online.
PN had protested in front of the CPM district secretary and made it clear that he would not join the party. Balakrishnan resigned. No reason was given for the omission. District Secretary CN Mohanan and Minister P. Rajeev was asked about this but both of them did not reply. At the press conference though they were expected to say something but nothing happened. There was also a clear reason for the omission of three of the four members of the committee. However, Balakrishnan did not say why he was left out.
What do you think is that conscious agenda?
Minister P. personally to the District Secretary. There are no problems with Rajiv either. I have a tendency to say anything openly. It is also said when it comes to discussions in committees. He may have been reluctant in our dealings. The agenda of the district secretary was to bring Kavalangad area secretary Shaji Mohammad to the district committee. There are no complaints against me locally. There is no provision for hurting anyone or going for other things. They know what matters.
Prior to the meeting, the district committee had decided to take action against some of the new recruits. Such people are now being taken to the committee. The mental hardship is that I was spared in order to pick them up. If newcomers are better than me, that’s not a problem.
Upcoming political activity?
Will be in the public domain. However, the decision was not politically motivated. Works with all cultural organizations. There are many platforms in our society to benefit people. There is no doubt that he will continue to be a supporter of the CPM. But the party does not plan to remain a member.
Not only does he not disagree with any of the other positions of the party, but he fully agrees. In Indian politics, no party other than the CPM has a choice. Only the Communist Party can take the right stand and move forward. That’s a good idea. I have faith in the leadership of Comrade Pinarayi Vijayan.
Can party affiliation be terminated one day?
It is a political activity starting from the eighth class. He became a politician by attending AKG’s party classes. If the AKG was the most influential of the leaders of the previous generation, then VS is the most influential. Achuthanandan and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. The good news is that he has worked tirelessly with the party on all fronts. He has led the party well in any crisis. That’s what the locals say.
No one in the country would say I was corrupt. He did a lot of good things for a long time. He has taken the lead in putting up houses. Born into a household with the necessary financial means, a portion of the wealth has always been spent on the poor. He has not received any allowance from the party so far. This is when all leaders have allowances. He did not contest any panchayat election and did not want to. He has worked only in the field of organization. Someone who thinks that’s right.
Haven’t there been parliamentary ambitions?
At no point did the party do anything in the parliamentary interest. The only parliamentary experience is being the president of a co – operative bank in Puthenkara in the 1990s. It was a small co-operative bank. At that time the presidents of the Co-operative Banks had no salary and it was not a bank where they could be paid.
At no stage did he compete for a position. He has worked as a party secretary most of the time. Naturally, the secretaries decide the candidates and win. He wanted to stay in that role. Or he could have competed for the desired seats as secretary and reached a level. But he did not come to the competition because he was not interested in it.
What is happening to the comrades in Ernakulam district to correct so much?
Ernakulam is an industrializing district on a daily basis. All its dirty canals are here. It is true that many are already getting beaten up. Everything has happened as part of it. Another is that the parliamentary illusion is on the rise.
Perumbavoor, Piravom and Thrikkakara have seen a growing appetite for activists and leaders. There is also the notion that after the collapse of the Soviet Union there will be no more revolutions. This is what misleads many. The highest incidence is in Ernakulam district only. All this is because Ernakulam is an industrial district.
All the projects coming up in the district are worth Rs.1000, Rs.5000 and Rs.10,000 crore. This is a time when the Commission is largely recognized by those who work in connection with it. Corruption is a time when no one should ask and buy, let alone bring home. As a result, communist values are being undermined by many. Therefore, immediate corrections will not be made. ⁇
