The CPI(M) State committee reportedly on Friday wrestled with finalising candidates for 15 Lok Sabha seats to hit the ground running as the drum beats of the parliamentary polls drew closer each day.
The party’s meeting, cloaked in cult-like secrecy as usual, reportedly focussed on striking the optimal political calculus to turn the Lok Sabha segments it covets into red-wall constituencies.
The CPI(M) also seemed determined not to leave any stone unturned to erase the ignominy of winning only in Alappuzha in the 2019 parliamentary elections. The party machinery remained revved after the NavKerala Sadas campaign.
