CPI (M) is caught in an unsavoury fight over corruption in Kerala
Ghosts of a major scam have come to haunt the ruling CPI(M) in Kerala. Party’s state chief Pinarayi Vijayan is accused of financial misconduct in the Rs.3.33 billion contract awarded to a Canadian firm SNC Lavlin to upgrade the state’s three hydro-electric power stations during his tenure as Energy Minister of Kerala 12 years ago. The case was handed over to the CBI on orders of the Kerala High Court and the incumbent CM VS Achutanandan, known for his clean and uncompromising image, has sanctioned the prosecution of his party colleague, Vijayan. It is no secret that the two leaders have been at logger heads for a long time – so much so that both had been suspended from CPI(M)’s apex policy making body, the politburo last year. The latest controversy hasn’t helped the party’s cause a bit. The issue has vertically divided the party with Achutanandan claiming to fight corruption at every level and Vijayan claiming to be a victim of political conspiracy.
