KOCHI: The ongoing war of words between CPI and CPM, the two leading constituents of the ruling LDF, hit a new low on Saturday with the CPI Ernakulam district secretary P. Raju launching a severe attack against the Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. Inaugurating day and night struggle launched by the KSRTC workers affiliated with CPI controlled AITUC union, Mr Raju described the advisors of Pinarayi as dumb heads, responsible for misleading the Chief Minister.
Describing the Chief Minister as an individual prone to be afflicted with fever when scared, the CPI leader lashed out against Pinarayi for meeting the Governor when the latter summoned him to discuss the law and order situation in the state. Mr Raju later denied the charges of speaking against the Chief Minister and said his words were misconstrued by a section of the media. The CPI leader made the clarification following CPI state secretary Kanam Rajendran asking him to explain his remarks against the Chief Minister. Mr Raju said he will submit an explanation with the relevant evidence.
