The State secretariat of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has suspended former Devikulam MLA S. Rajendran from the primary membership of the party for a year.
The district committee of the party had recommended action against him after a two-member inquiry commission found serious lapses on his part in the election campaign of the party candidate in the Devikulam constituency.
He was given one-year suspension by the party secretariat accepting the recommendation of the district committee that Mr. Rajendran worked against party interests in the election campaigns and also abstained from party meetings held as part of the election to the district committee. Mr. Rajendran was also dropped from the district committee.
