New additions likely in CPI(M) Kozhikode district committee
The CPI(M) in Kozhikode is undergoing leadership changes, with new members expected to join the district committee and secretariat. During the meeting, senior leader Pinarayi Vijayan criticized the UDF government and the BJP-led central government regarding political targeting.
Why it matters
These internal party shifts and political rhetoric reflect the ongoing power dynamics and ideological conflicts within Kerala's state politics.
At least some new additions are likely in the district leadership of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] in Kozhikode as the two-day extended district committee meeting began at the AKG Auditorium in the city on Tuesday (October 6).
According to party sources, T.K. Sumesh, area secretary, Balussery; T.K. Chandran, area secretary, Koyilandy; K. Ajayakumar, area secretary, Kozhikode Town; and P.K.E. Chandran, area secretary, Kakkodi, may be included in the district committee as permanent invitees. Some of the district functionaries of the Democratic Youth Federation of India could also find a berth there. Senior leader C. Bhaskaran is likely to be relieved of his position in the district secretariat due to his advancing age. It is learnt that some new leaders could be added to the district secretariat as well.
