CPI(M) admits mistakes behind Kerala rout, Vijayan’s grip stays intact
An internal CPI(M) review has highlighted campaign and organisational lapses after the Kerala election setback, while the party prepares a three-month corrective action plan.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has strongly condemned the tragic death of Nithin Raj, a first-year BDS student at Anjarakkandy Dental College in Kannur.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Chief Minister Vijayan described the circumstances leading to the young student’s death as an “unforgivable crime” and assured that the entire state of Kerala stands in solidarity with Nithin’s grieving family.
