New Delhi: The Communist Party of India-Marxist is believed to have reached an understanding on ending the fight between Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan and party state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan--a feud which cost it Lok Sabha elections in the state.
Sources in the CPI-M tell CNN-IBN party general secretary Prakash Karat has proposed that Achuthanandan be removed from the party’s politburo and central committee but allowed to stay on as Chief Minister.
The party’s central committee will take a final decision in the matter.
Achuthanandan has refused to follow the party’s diktat and wants Vijayan be removed as state secretary for he has been named an accused by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the Rs 374- crore SNC Lavalin corruption case.
The Vijayan faction, in retaliation, has demanded that disciplinary action be taken against Achuthanandan for "violating party discipline".
The CPI-M has said that the case against Vijayan is politically motivated and it will support him.
