Thiruvananthapuram, July 24 (UNI) The Communist Party of India (CPI) has come out strongly against the CPM, saying that there was a de- liberate attempt to brand the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in Kerala as the Pinarayi Vijayan government. Party members who were participating in the Thiruvananthapuram district committee meeting spoke about the need for internal discussions on the government. They said that there were no such attempts in the previous LDF governments led by E.K. Nayanar,
P.K. Vasudevan Nair or V.S. Achuthanandan, asserting that branding an LDF government was not acceptable according to communist ideals. The party members also flayed the home ministry under Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and said that the state police was drawing flak from the general society for its failures and even its high-handedness including lockup torture and murders. The members that the Chief Minister traveling in a cavalcade of more than 40 vehicles were unheard of in the history of Kerala, also charged the state CPI leadership for keeping a studied silence on the matter.
