The Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) meeting on Thursday seemed poised to launch a recriminatory pre-Lok Sabha election campaign casting Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan as the “authoritarian villain” at the centre of the “corrupt and anti-people” Left Democratic Front (LDF) administration.
Speaking to newspersons after the leadership conclave, KPCC president K.Sudhakaran appeared to train his sight squarely on Mr. Vijayan.
“The CPI(M) central leadership is in thrall to Mr. Vijayan. Only CPI(M) leaders M.A.Baby and T.M. Thomas Isaac have aired some muted criticism against Mr. Vijayan. He should either correct course or resign,” Mr. Sudhakaran said.
