Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president K. Sudhakaran on Monday alleged that the CPI(M) had tried to murder him six times and that on every occasion he escaped by the skin of his teeth.
The accused were not punished in any of the cases as the witnesses faced life threats. Those who conspired to kill him continued to occupy prime posts in the government and the CPI(M) is continuing to conspire against him, Mr. Sudhakaran said.
He said he had faced several direct attacks on his life and each time he escaped because of his own watchfulness, luck and because of tip off from some CPI(M) workers. The series of murder attempts on him began in 1992 after he was elected as the DCC president, he said.
