PATHANAMTHITTA: It is reported that the representatives at the CPM area conference had sharply criticized Health Minister Veena George. The first criticism was that she had taken oath in the name of God. Most of the delegates present at the conference criticized the Minister for taking the oath this way.
There were criticisms that the minister does not pick up the phone when party members of the local self-government institutions call her. The complaint was that the minister would not pick up the phone even if it's regarding something urgent. It was alleged that due to this, the party workers feel insulted. This led to the leakage of party votes. Veena George is currently a member of the Pathanamthitta Area Committee.
