As election fervour intensifies among the three fronts in Kerala, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] faced a significant embarrassment in Pathanamthitta on Tuesday following reports of an altercation between two of its senior leaders.
Shortcomings in campaigning
The purported clash occurred during a late-night meeting of the party district secretariat on Monday, attended by Cooperation Minister V.N. Vasavan. Reports indicate that tensions escalated between A. Padmakumar, a former legislator, and P.B. Harsha Kumar while discussing the shortcomings in the campaign for Left Democratic Front candidate T.M. Thomas Isaac, particularly in the Adoor Assembly segment.
