Veteran Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] leader M.M. Lawrence’s autobiography, set to be published on Saturday, is likely to lift the lid on factionalism that had plagued the party for long besides being heavily critical of another veteran leader and former Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan, who recently turned 100, for his alleged role in propagating it.
The autobiography titled Ormacheppu Thurannappol is being published by DC Books. In a scathing attack on Mr. Achuthanandan, the book accuses him of having used people like a squad for building his personal cult, as per excerpts from the book. This was not just against communist ideology but also the communist organisational principles.
