CPI(M) supports E.P. Jayarajan's claim of forged autobiography, sparking political controversy in Kerala ahead of byelections.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] has thrown its weight behind former Left Democratic Front (LDF) convener E.P. Jayarajan’s contention that his purported “autobiography” was a forgery and a political hit job to wrongfoot the ruling front in Kerala on the day of the byelections in Chelakkara Assembly constituency and Wayanad Lok Sabha seat.
CPI(M) State secretary M.V. Govindan said the party’s State secretariat met in Thiruvananthapuram on Friday (November 15, 2024) and took Mr. Jayarajan’s claim at face value.
Moreover, he said, Mr. Jayarajan has petitioned the State Police Chief to investigate the “conspiracy” behind the alleged attempt to target him and the LDF.
Mr. Govindan said Mr. Jayarajan had yet to complete his memoir and had not contracted any publisher to print it.
The controversial media report that has since roiled Kerala politics had alleged that Mr. Jayarajan’s purported autobiography was critical of the second Pinarayi Vijayan government.
It also claimed that Mr. Jayarajan had slammed the CPI(M)‘s decision to field expelled Congress leader P. Sarin as the LDF’s Independent candidate for the Assembly bypoll in Palakkad.
The report suggested that the alleged “autobiography” portrayed CPI(M) ministers as weak and accused the party of losing its moorings in the LDF government’s second consecutive term.
Sugar Minister Shivanand Patil said that he would impress upon all factories to clear arrears before payment for the current season begins. He also said the State Cabinet will consider all the demands by sugarcane farmers.
