Former legislator publicly criticises CPI(M) leadership

K.C. Rajagopalan, a former CPI(M) legislator, criticized the party's local leadership in Pathanamthitta following their recent electoral losses. He accused the Kozhencherry area secretary of organizational lapses and prioritizing higher-level committees over grassroots connections. Rajagopalan claimed he was removed from the district committee and alleged external interference played a role in his defeat, suggesting the area secretary's involvement. He plans to submit a formal complaint to the party leadership outlining these concerns.
