Sudhakaran’s influence waning in Alappuzha

Reaction to reprimanding the leader confined to social media platforms alone

A day after the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI (M)] initiated disciplinary action against senior leader G. Sudhakaran over alleged lapses in the Left Democratic Front's electioneering in the Ambalapuzha Assembly constituency, the reverberation of the decision was largely confined to social media platforms.

The CPI(M) State committee on Saturday publicly censured Mr. Sudhakaran noting that he behaved in a manner unbecoming of a party State committee member during candidate selection and campaign for the election.
