'EMS is the biggest political traitor Kerala has ever seen', says CPI magazine 'Navayugam'

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The CPI's mouthpiece magazine 'Navayugam' has openly accused the former Chief Minister EMS of committing the biggest political betrayal in Kerala in 1967. CPI's statement was in response to a mockery written by the CPM magazine 'Chinta'.

CPM was behind the corruption allegations against the ministers M N Govindan Nair and T V Thomasin 1967. The sentiment that led EMS to prosecute his fellow comrades is still unknown, says the second part of a series of articles entitled 'Thirinjukothunna Nunnakal' published under the name of Vijayan.

CPI was responsible in gaining power back then and stated two points

Was it not because the CPI decided to form a Left Democratic Front government in 1978 that the CPM came to power in the 1980s? It is good to remember that they were out of power for a decade.

In 1980, CPI General Secretary C. Rajeshwara Rao warned in the CPI-CPM All India Coordinating Committee that foreign capital would have a huge impact on Bengal. Nandigram is the culmination of not taking that into consideration.

The article further says about split of Communist party and about the attempt to erase Achuthamenon's efforts from histoty.
