KANNUR: Former Congress DCC general secretary in Kannur Pratheep Vattipram has joined CPM. He was welcomed to the party by leaders including CPM district secretary M V Jayarajan and K K Rakesh.
Pratheep Vattipram clarified that he left the Congress in protest against “Congress leader K Sudhakaran’s corruption and unholy nexus between the Congress and the BJP”.
The Congress had debarred Pratheep from party activities after he exposed alleged corruptions of K Sudhakaran in cases including district committee office construction.
Pratheep also had alleged that K Sudhakaran would join the BJP and BJP national president Amit Shah had offered him minister’s post if he won the Lok Sabha election.
