War against Pinarayi Vijayan!

SNC-Lavalin, this name has started to give CPIM cadres in Kerala sleep-less nights. While the party machinery, including the Politburo has stood behind Pinarayi Vijayan in defending him against the charges raised by CBI in the SNC-Lavalin corruption case, the public seems to be having some contrary opinions regarding this.

The war of posters started just after CBI raised these charges, in the Christian dominated south Kerala, it did not take much time for people to put up posters in which Pinarayi was drafted among the culprits who were charged for the gruesome murder of a nun - Abhaya.  The poster said, the accused in the murder case; Father Thomas Kottur, Father Jose Puthrikayil and sister Sephi along with Pinarayi Vijayan is being unwantedly tortured by CBI for political gains. That is some nice company for Vijayan, befitting indeed.

That is another side of the story, now it seems hand written posters have appeared in different parts of Kozhikkode and in some other districts, that  carries some serious vitriolic  against Pinarayi Vijayan and his boss Prakash Karat. The party except Achuthandan, who has not broken his silence on this issue is sticking on to their excuse that Congress is using CBI to frame false allegations against the Kerala state CPIM Secretary to defame him and his party as elections are coming.  The party mouth piece - Deshabhimani has been wasting a lot of ink in establishing this fact.

In Kerala people are prudent and it is not easy to convince them and it has been proved in some local elections that has happened in 2008, where CPIM cadres broke away from the party contested the elections and have won. There are rifts in SFI too, the student wing of the CPIM. Some SFI activists burned the effigy of  KEN KunjuMohammed after his searing outburst against CM Achuthandan. Known to the public as a cohort of Pinarayi, this action from some SFI cadres would have created some confusion among the top brass.

I am not concluding anything from these contradictory opinions and actions from the CPIM cadres but i would like to remind myself that this degradation started, when CPIM planned to launch their TV channel. While they had to amass a capital for this, it was inevitable for them to ask favours from the rich and the corrupted sections of Kerala Society. A favour sought has to be reciprocated in some way or the other and the party had to make serious concessions  to accommodate the wishes of these nefarious elements.

This took them down a lane and the journey has culminated in a CBI charge Sheet in SNC-Lavlin Case, where  CBI claims that Pinarayi Vijayan was involved in criminal conspiracy.

And i have quoted and linked to sources which are part of the dubious “media syndicate” sponsored by CIA.  So if you are trying to tell me that again, please dont do so.  I wonder if handwritten posters are also sponsored by CIA!
