THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: KPCC president K Sudhakaran alleged that Kodiyeri Balakrishnan and the CPM are spitting poison to retain power. "The CPM national leadership must be prepared to stitch together Kodiyeri's mouth. The CPM must move away from this rotten political style", Sudhakaran said.
Kodiyeri while speaking at the closing ceremony of the CPM Thiruvananthapuram district convention today leveled fresh criticism against Congress. He criticized the Congress in Kerala by alleging that they excluded the religious minority and decided that the leader from the minority should not be in a prominent position. He said that the KPCC president and the Leader of the Opposition are not minority representatives and asked whether this was due to Rahul Gandhi's stand that the country should be ruled by Hindus.
