Achuthanandan outsmarts comrades with a website

The website contains details of the life story of Achuthanandan, his rise from a labourer to a leader of prominence. It speaks highly of the ‘visionary’ stand taken by Achuthanandan on issues related to technology and human rights.

The pages, some of which are under construction, include ‘Behind the iron mask’, ‘Water’, ‘Secularism’, ‘Corruption’, ‘Environment’ and ‘Globalisation’.

Terming Achuthanandan a crusader, the site says: ‘‘Velikkakathu Sankaran Achuthanandan, popularly known as Comrade VS, belongs to a rare brand of leaders. He has no stature of an intellectual giant, but why do people wait for the comments of this high-school dropout on all issues? He has no stature of a man of charisma, but why do people gather wherever he is? He was never a man in power but what has contributed to his phenomenal organisational skill?’’

The answer follows: ‘‘It is his passion for the soil, its sons, that makes him a man of the masses.’’
