Thiruvananthapuram, July 16 (BPNS)
Kerala Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan has told his party colleague and Left front convenor and former minister, EP Jayarajan that he should be more active in party politics. Sources in the CPI-M told BPNS that Jayarajan met Chief Minister at the latter’s official residence on Saturday night and Pinarayi had told him to be active.
It is to be noted that Jayarajan has been sulking ever since a much junior MV Govindan was elevated as the CPI-M state secretary and nominated to the highest decision making body of the party, the Politburo.
The CPI-M had conducted the first All India seminar against the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) at Kozhikode on Saturday which was given a skip by the LDF convenor. Instead Jayarajan was at the state capital ,Thiruvananthapuram to attend a public programme of party’s youth wing ,DYFI of which he was the first national president.
Jayarajan however while speaking to media persons said,” I am always active in party work. There was no need for everyone to attend the seminar as the party had earlier decided who all will participate in this seminar and there is no need of any controversy on the same.”
Sources told BPNS that other constituents of the LDF including the CPI were also unhappy at the performance of the LDF convenor. Some CPI leaders in private said that the left front has not met for the past three months and there has not been any open discussion even in major policy decisions.
