Kerala CM says allegations against him ‘baseless’

He was answering a query that CPI-M State Secretary Pinarayi Vijayan,considered his bete noire,had levelled such a charge at a function at Kannur.

At the function,organised in memory of former Chief Minister and veteran CPI(M) leader E K Nayanar,Vijayan had reportedly stated that Nayanar had always protected his cabinet colleagues and won the admiration of all and that he was a role model for all Communists to follow.

Achuthanandan has been at loggerheads with the official faction in the CPI-M,led by Vijayan.
