CPM men not working for PC George: VN Vasavan

Kottayam: CPM district secretary V.N. Vasavan has denied  the charge that a section of partymen led by him was working for the victory of Mr P.C. George, leader of Kerala Congress (S),  in Poonjar. “The CPM  is working for the victory of  LDF candidate P.C. Joseph,” he told reporters while taking part in ‘Nilapadu – 2016’   at the press club here on Saturday.   

“Mr  Joseph is way ahead of George and UDF candidate Georgekutty Augusthy,” he said. In response to the charge that Opposition Leader VS Achuthanandan, during his election meeting at Poonjar on Friday, spoke only a few words in support of Mr  Joseph, he said that it  was  due to the restrictions imposed on him by the doctors on health grounds.

Mr Achuthanandan had concluded his speech quickly urging the people to  vote for Mr  Joseph in protest against Mr  Oommen Chandy’s corrupt government who ruled the state by receiving ‘thutttu’ (money).
