Press Communique


The Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) held a
meeting on July 11 and 12, 2009 to discuss the Kerala Party matters. It
has issued the following statement:


The Central Committee decided that in view of the violations of the
organisational principle and discipline by Com. V.S. Achuthanandan, he
should be removed from the Polit Bureau. Com. Achuthanandan is the
senior most leader who has made a big contribution to the Party in
Kerala. The Central Committee expected Com. V.S. to fulfill his
responsibilities as the Chief Minister and as a leader of the Party.


The Central Committee examined the report submitted by the Polit Bureau
on the SNC Lavalin contract for the renovation and modernisation of
three hydroelectric projects in Kerala which were entered into by the
UDF government in 1995-96 and which were subsequently implemented by the
LDF government. The Central Committee is of the view that Com. Pinarayi
Vijayan, secretary of the Kerala State Committee and the Electricity
Minister in the then LDF government between 1996-98 was not involved in
any corrupt practice whatsoever. The Central Committee reiterated that
the Party will fight the case politically and legally.


The Central Committee authorised the Polit Bureau to take necessary
steps to implement the Central Committee decisions. The Kerala State
Committee should unify the entire Party and go to the people with the
political and organisational tasks which have been spelt out in the
review of the Lok Sabha elections.
