The meeting between Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) M R Ajith Kumar and RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale has sparked significant controversy in Kerala, placing the CPI(M) in a challenging position. CPI(M) state secretary M V Govindan sought to distance the party from the meeting, stating it was a personal matter and criticizing the BJP's claims of an alliance between the CPI(M) and RSS. Opposition leader V D Satheesan alleged that the meeting was orchestrated by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to appease the RSS and protect CPI(M) leaders from scrutiny by central investigating agencies. Despite Ajith Kumar's admission of the meeting, the government has not taken action against him, leading to dissatisfaction within the party ranks. The controversy has intensified the narrative of a CPI(M)-BJP nexus, with CPI state secretary Binoy Vishwam questioning the motives behind the meeting. The political fallout includes increased scrutiny of both the CPI(M) and BJP, which are now facing allegations of collusion.
