Severe criticism against CPM central leadership

KOLLAM: Severe criticism was raised at the CPM central leadership during the public discussion at the CPM Kollam district conference. The representatives said that while CPM central leaders are boasting about Leftist Kumara Dissanayake becoming Sri Lankan president, the party's national leaders have not achieved anything in Delhi despite being in the national capital for more than 30 years.

The CPM's vote share at the national level has been steadily declining after each election. The party's action of naming Mukesh as its candidate in the Kollam Lok Sabha constituency is evidence of leaders' inability to understand the public's mindset. While EP Jayarajan is holding secret talks with BJP's Prakash Javadekar, how can the Mangalapuram Area Secretary be blamed for leaving the party and joining the BJP? The same party that criticized the microphone operator in front of hundreds of people is now giving lessons to its workers. It is the leaders who need to correct and improve first, some representatives said.

Weaknesses should be corrected
MA Baby, in his inaugural speech, pointed out that the party is winning some elections in Kollam but losing others that they should win. Such weaknesses should be corrected. He also mentioned that the Karunagapally Area Committee has been dissolved.
