EP Jayarajan was removed from the post of LDF convenor. The decision will be taken at the CPIM state secretariat. It was this reaction that cut off the party and the front on the day of the Lok Sabha elections, and it was EP Jayarajan who lost his position. CPIM’s first stand was that if action was taken in the meeting with Prakash Javadekar, it would be a weapon to counterattack the Congress.
MV Govindan started the discussion by raising the displeasure of the CPI over the delay in taking action on the matter of the state secretariat which met yesterday. Later, EP Jayarajan expressed his willingness to resign. But VN Vasavan’s opinion that action should be taken early made EP Jayarajan angry. After that, Chinta left the room in the flat and EP Jayarajan was returning to Kannur on Air India Express this morning.
In the end, EP Jayarajan was replaced. CITU state president TP Ramakrishnan has been replaced by the charge of convener. EP’s explanation on the matter was that the meeting with Prakash Javadekar was not a political one and that is why the party was not informed. The Chief Minister also criticized the EP in this regard. EP Jayarajan expressed his willingness to resign after today’s state committee discussed and it was confirmed that action would be taken.
