The state committee of ruling CPI-M in Kerala has decided to publicly reprimand veteran leader and state committee member G. Sudhakaran for his alleged bid to hamper the party’s chances in the Ambalapuzha constituency in Alappuzha district during the Assembly elections held earlier this year.While the move may not be a major party action, it has indeed shocked 73-year-old Sudhakaran, who was known to be the most powerful leader of the party in Alappuzha district.The party has taken the decision following complaints from H. Salam, the CPI-M candidate in Ambalapuzha for the 2021 Assembly elections, who alleged that Sudhakaran did not actively participate in his election campaign.The CPI-M had constituted a two-member fact-finding committee comprising MP and senior party leader Elamaram Kareem and K.J. Thomas, member of the party’s state secretariat, to look into the matter.
