Kerala’s CPI legislator C.C. Mukundan accuses party leadership of trading seats for election funding
Allegations of seat trading for election funding raise concerns about corruption within a political party.
C.C. Mukundan, an MLA in Thrissur, Kerala, accused the CPI's State leadership of preferring his party colleague, Geetha Gopi, for the Nattika Assembly seat over him due to her fundraising abilities. He stated he would contest again regardless of the CPI's decision and claimed the party does not sell seats for money. Binoy Viswam, the CPI State secretary, dismissed Mukundan's accusations as a "transient emotional outburst" and assured that the party is willing to listen to his grievances.
