MALAPPURAM, FEBRUARY 22: Hardliners in the CPM suffered a humiliating defeat at the CPM Kerala state conference today as V.S. Achuthanandan’s rebellion against state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan ended in a ballot nightmare. After a day of edge-of-the seat excitement at the conference in Kerala’s Muslim heartland, all the 12 candidates he put up against the official panel were defeated. The new state committee later re-elected Vijayan for another term of three years.

The election to the new state committee witnessed dramatic events and kept party workers and mediapersons on their toes for 10 hours. Achuthanandan, who had claimed he could replace Vijayan and the majority of members on the state panel, was forced to a pathetic survival bargain in the last round of compromise talks.

When the state committee met in the presence of politburo members in the morning, Achuthanandan presented his panel before the state committee.

Vijayan was prepared to accommodate five members from the Achuthanandan side on the official panel. He was also ready to drop P. Sasi as demanded by Achuthanandan. But Achuthanandan wanted to drop economist and ideologue Dr Thomas Isaac, former MP M.A. Baby and Deshabhimani resident editor P. Rajeev. Vijayan put his foot down and rejected it, leading to the election.

Achuthanandan, a veteran of several battles including the Punnapra-Vayalar struggle, miscalculated his strength. His loyalists f—who put up a fierce battle for their leader in the debate at the meet—fell when the votes were counted to decide the state panel of the cadre-based party.

On the 80-member state committee, four seats are left vacant—these will be filled and the new state secretariat constituted after the party’s national meet in Delhi in April.

With the stunning performance of the liberals in the party, Vijayan has re-emerged as the most powerful man in the state unit. His spectacular comeback has also dashed the hopes of the Achuthanandan loyalists’ move to project him as the next Chief Minister.

Known as a traditional Marxist, Achuthanandan had made the party’s meetings the fora to fight what he saw as deviant influences. The Malappuram meet saw debates and personal attacks—while Vijayan loyalists reportedly described Achuthanandan as a ‘‘class enemy’’, the counter attack was targeted at Vijayan’s lifestyle.
