Kannur: Kerala leaders have sharply criticized the central leadership in a group discussion. Criticism was leveled at what central leaders were doing beyond statements and press conferences. There is no intervention even on important issues. There are not many parties in Delhi with so many leaders. Yet the party has been criticized for not being able to actively engage in national politics. Minister K.N. Balagopal was the critic.
This style of working cannot strengthen the Left Front at the national level and form a coalition of secular parties. The return to Bengal and Tripura will not be possible unless the modus operandi is changed. It was also suggested that the failure to arm the campaign with major regional issues in various states should be addressed. What did the central leadership do to overcome the setbacks in Bengal and Tripura? Could not even add members. He also did not pay attention to student organizational activities. The closure of colleges is not a justification. Went home but membership had to be distributed.
The organizational report also criticizes the actions of the central leadership. There was also the question of what the central leadership had done for four years. According to the report, the party center and the PB failed to carry out their duties. The proposal to evaluate the functioning of the Politburo every two years has not been implemented. Kovida was, however, able to assess the matter. The party center and the PB failed to form a left coalition. The evaluation of class mass organizations is not done accurately. It is reported that the Central Secretariat was not formed and the work was hampered.
Meanwhile, CPM General Secretary Sitaram Yachury told mediapersons that KV Thomas was invited to the CPM party congress seminar as a Congress leader. “The question of whether to protect KV Thomas is irrelevant now,” he said. Yachury said he had not said that Stalin was the best non-BJP chief minister and that non-BJP chief ministers should unite.
