When former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy was conducting the Jana Sambarkkam programme (interaction with people), it was Pinarayi Vijayan, as the then State secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)], who directed his partymen to physically attack Chandy and disrupt his interaction programme.
Having done that, Mr. Vijayan has no right to criticise the United Democratic Front (UDF) which has chosen to boycott the Navakerala Sadas, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president K. Sudhakaran has said.
The common man has no place in Mr. Vijayan’s show of ostentation, which is why the UDF is boycotting his so-called interaction. At the public programme at Manjeswaram, the poor had no place in the front. Mr. Vijayan did not personally listen to or receive any complaint or disburse any compensation.
