Political Turmoil in Kerala: CPI(M)'s Stand Against Alleged Vote-Buying

CPI(M) leaders, led by general secretary M A Baby, conducted house visits in Kerala following the party's loss in civic polls. Baby accused RSS of vote-buying, a practice allegedly spread to Kerala by northern tactics. He criticized defectors to the Congress and highlighted support for the Left's rule.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) took to the streets of Kerala with a strategic house visit initiative, spearheaded by party stalwart M A Baby, in response to the recent setbacks suffered in the civic polls.

In a bold accusation, Baby pointed fingers at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), blaming them for influencing the election outcome through alleged vote-buying—a tactic he claims has infiltrated Kerala from the north.

Amidst the charged political climate, Baby criticized former CPI(M) member Aisha Potty for her shift to the Congress, attributing it to insincerity, while reiterating the Left's achievements and denouncing the opposition's strategies.
