A war of words has started between Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and new Congressional State Unity chairman K Sudhakaran as the duo remember the politics of muscle power in their youth in his home district of Kannur.
A day after Vijayan declared that Sudhakaran had plotted to kidnap his children, Sudhakaran fought back on Saturday and asked the CM to maintain “the dignity of his post”.
Speaking to the media, he asked a series of questions: Why didn’t Vijayan notify the police if he heard that I had planned to abduct his children? Why can’t Vijayan reveal the name of my friend who told him about the plan? If the children were threatened, why did Vijayan not share this information with his wife? It is unworthy of his position as Chief Minister to raise such an allegation.
Vijayan told media on Friday that Sudhakaran attempted to abduct her two children while they were in school. One day a friend from Sudhakaran came to me and told me that he (Sudhakaran) had a plan to abduct my children, who were in school at the time. I told him my approach is to wait and see. I didn’t tell anyone about it, including my wife (then a teacher), Vijayan said.
The Chief Minister was reacting to the Sudhakarans’ claim that in 1967, when they were students at Government Brennen College, Thalassery in Kannur, Sudhakaran overthrew Vijayan.
Sudhakaran recounted his college years in an interview in the latest issue of the weekly ‘Malayala Manorama’. Then student leader Sudhakaran said his men beat Vijayan, who had to be rescued by police.
To counter him, Vijayan said: The incident in which he knocked me over may have happened in his dream. How can he boast like this? Sudhakaran knows he cannot defeat Vijayan.
The chief minister said Congress leader P Ramakrishnan said Sudhakaran joined politics in an attempt to make money. Sudhakaran deals with foreign exchange and has ties to the sand mafia, he said. The leaders are afraid of him…. KPCC member Mambaram Divakaran revealed that Sudhakaran tried to annihilate him …
Regarding the allegation that he trades in foreign currency, Sudhakaran said: Vijayan’s office was in fact involved in the smuggling of gold. Swapna Suresh (key accused in the gold smuggling case) had accompanied Vijayan on all his trips abroad in four years of his first regime. Even then, he was pretending to ignore her (knowing her).
Stating that Vijayan stepped out of the PR agency’s veil at his press conference on Friday, the congressional leader said: His language and style were that of a political criminal. The allegations against me should be investigated. It was not me, but Vijayan who had carried bullets in his bag.
Sudhakaran also alleged that Vijayan was charged with the murder of Vadikkal Ramakrishnan, an RSS employee killed in 1969 in Thalassery.
Assembly opposition leader VD Satheesan of Congress and BJP state chairman K Surendran said the chief minister only raised the issue to distract from the slaughter controversial of a large number of trees protected on land allocated by the government.
Sudhakaran also appeared before the secretary of the Kannur District Committee of the Media Congress, Kandoth Gopi, who claimed that Vijayan had hacked him in 1977 while he was leading a protest against the dismissal of Beedi workers in Kerala Dinesh Beedi. controlled by the CPI (M). Showing a wound to his hand, Gopi alleged that Vijayan apparently carried a sword and aimed at my neck. I injured my hand when I tried to save myself.
