CPM Announces P Sarin as LDF Candidate in Palakkad

News summary

The CPM has officially nominated P Sarin as its candidate for the Palakkad by-election, a decision that has drawn criticism from within the party and the opposition. UDF convener M M Hassan described Sarin as an opportunist whose candidacy reflects CPM's political decline and could inadvertently bolster BJP's prospects in the region. Sarin, recently expelled from Congress after criticizing its leadership, stated that his victory would signify a new era for the Left in Kerala. Despite the CPM's attempts to leverage Sarin's background to siphon votes from Congress, dissent among party members suggests concerns over sidelining local leaders. The elections, prompted by the previous MLAs' moves to the Lok Sabha, are crucial for the CPM, which has struggled in recent contests. Meanwhile, Congress alleges collusion between CPM and BJP, complicating the already contentious political landscape.
