Yes. Necessary modifications might be made within the strategy in accordance with the altering instances. We can not stop change however have to associate with the change. Only change is fixed.

They are mere allegations. We are the true Left. Legislations might be made in accordance with the prevailing conditions retaining in thoughts folks’s pursuits. Those legislations might be carried out.
Some cite SilverLine for instance of this right-wing deviation…
Society is growing each second in all places on the planet. SilverLine might be useful for everybody, together with employees, farmers and Kudumbashree members. It will assist Kudumbashree employees in Thiruvananthapuram to go and promote their merchandise in Ernakulam and return the identical day.
Earlier, the Left used to take an environment-friendly strategy. The greatest allegation towards SilverLine is that it’s towards the setting…
That argument is unfounded. On what foundation do you declare that the mission will affect the setting? This is a unfavourable thought that there shouldn’t be any improvement exercise. Earlier, there was an analogous marketing campaign towards NH improvement. Now everyone seems to be silent. Do you might have the braveness to say that highways usually are not required?
In the previous 20 years, the social gathering was led by Kodiyeri-Pinarayi management. How do you have a look at that equation?
I don’t agree with that view. Party is predicated on collective management. Pinarayi and Kodiyeri have been a part of it. I are not looking for my identify additionally to be talked about in that manner.
So, are you saying that an individual’s character won’t affect the social gathering?
Rather, I might say that an individual is conditioned by the social gathering.
But your tenure because the Kannur district secretary was one of the crucial peaceable instances in Kannur. The scenario was not like that earlier than you and after you. How will you clarify that interval of peace?
It was not due to me. But just because there have been no assaults in Kannur then. Nothing is private. Everything is political.
Have heard that Sri M performed a task in peace negotiations in Kannur. What was his position?
No single particular person can deliver peace. There have been a number of rounds of peace talks. Several folks, together with Sri M, spoke about peace in such conferences. All such talks have led to peace. It shouldn’t be person-centric.
There was a time when CPM was neck-deep in groupism. Many felt a break up was imminent… But now the social gathering is a unified drive. To whom do you give credit score for the change?
The credit score for the change goes to the social gathering itself. The social gathering tenets assist in bringing all variations collectively for coordinated acts. If the social gathering errs, the social gathering corrects. That is the peculiarity of the social gathering.
How does the social gathering plan to attach with the youth who type a formidable chunk of our society?
The greatest power of our social gathering is the youth. The educated and inventive youth are with the social gathering. It is the SFI which guidelines all of the college unions. SFI and DYFI are our greatest strengths.
You not too long ago mentioned a celebration member can’t be referred to as a Marxist simply because he or she has a membership. Could you elaborate?
One shouldn’t have the misunderstanding that they’ve turn out to be a Communist simply with social gathering membership. Becoming a Marxist is a steady course of. There is no one referred to as a 100% Marxist.
There is an allegation that this authorities indulges in minority appeasement. If Samastha hits the street, then the federal government will change its stand, they are saying. How will you reply to that?
We usually are not frightened of anybody, and such a factor won’t ever occur.
But the federal government did change its place on the appointment of Sriram Venkitaraman and gender neutrality following Samastha’s opposition…
Sriram Venkitaraman’s appointment might be an aberration. If you give attention to such aberrations and say if that is our stand, then I urge to vary. There is not any have to concern anybody to take the appropriate path.
CPM’s equation with faith has at all times been troublesome…
The Communist social gathering’s stand shouldn’t be towards believers. In truth, we stand by them. There is a false impression unfold throughout the nation that the Communist social gathering is towards believers. I will provide you with an instance… Once I addressed college students within the University College. The subject was Marx and faith. I requested them what stand they’d take in the event that they have been caught between two opposing teams of believers and non-believers. They mentioned in unison that they stand by the non-believers. But I advised them that I’m not with them on the problem and defined the stand of the social gathering. Going to a temple, church or mosque is predicated on the assumption of an individual.
But will a temple/church-going particular person have any prospects within the social gathering?
Belief doesn’t are available the best way of acquiring membership. There is not any reservation for the management place. Members come to management positions based mostly on their grasp over Marxian philosophy, ideology, economics and political research, and their skill to use it in society.
There is an ongoing tussle between the governor and the federal government. How is the social gathering going to face this?
We will face it constitutionally and legally. We should not have any nervousness over it.
What are the choices earlier than the social gathering?
When an individual is adopting a stance that’s anti-constitutional, unlawful and towards precedents, how can we cope with such an individual? We will cope with the particular person constitutionally, legally and as per precedents. When it turns into political, we’ll cope with it politically as nicely.
The DMK authorities in Tamil Nadu had requested the Centre to recall Governor R N Ravi? Will the Kerala authorities additionally observe swimsuit?
The governor is the nominee of the BJP and the RSS. So, if ‘X’ goes and ‘Y’ comes, it’s nonetheless the RSS which dictates. Arif Mohammed Khan is the governor now. What if an individual worse than him comes? RSS needs the saffronisation of schooling and desires vice-chancellors who can intervene in syllabus and different issues. We will resist such strikes.
The governor could also be performing on the behest of the RSS. But it’s sure procedural lapses on the a part of the federal government that gave the governor the chance…
There aren’t any lapses. It’s the schooling guidelines of the state that made the governor the chancellor of universities. The governor claims that the legislation has been declared void. In that case, such a governor can not proceed as chancellor. It’s the legislation that gave him the put up of chancellor. If that legislation is void, will there be a chancellor?
But isn’t it the non-compliance with UGC rules that led to this example?
We needn’t adjust to all UGC rules. The state has its personal powers and rights. It’s on that foundation that legal guidelines have been enacted.
There are many payments pending assent by the governor. What can the federal government do on this scenario?
What can the governor do? He has three choices — he can ship it to the president, ship it again to the meeting and might maintain on it however not for an indefinite interval.
But it has been months…
Yes. It is anti-constitutional.
So what’s the answer?
If the governor adopts an unlawful and unconstitutional stance, it is going to be resisted legally and constitutionally.
Isn’t there any scope for a reconciliation?
What reconciliation are you speaking about? There is not any scope for it. It’s solely proper or fallacious. There is not any half-right and half-wrong. It shouldn’t be a difficulty that may be ended by way of mediation
But it was the federal government that didn’t help a decision towards the governor that the Opposition had introduced.
Circumstances change… Now, what’s the Opposition’s stance? They don’t have any stance. There is not any consensus inside Congress or its leaders. Even when the Babri Masjid was demolished, we noticed the Congress and Muslim League staying united with none variations of opinion. Now, the League is opposing the governor’s actions.
But will that be sufficient to get assent to the Bills handed by the meeting?
The payments will get the assent. When we should not have any nervousness over it, why must you? You are displaying anti-communist nervousness. In your minds, you might be desirous about how the method could be stalled. (laughs…)
Do you assume the second Pinarayi Vijayan authorities is nearly as good as the primary?
The current authorities and the one earlier than are equally good. There is little question about it. We are within the course of of making a information economic system which is able to give jobs to twenty lakh folks. When Okay-Rail is launched and the widened nationwide freeway is thrown open, Kerala won’t be what we see as we speak. Within the following 25 years, we may have a society that stands on par with essentially the most developed nations on the planet.
The Home Department is getting numerous flak. The state of affairs was the identical within the earlier authorities too…
The social gathering has taken a stance at any time when the actions of the police have begun to have an effect on the picture of the federal government. We will try this once more. It’s a correction course of. We will right those that take the fallacious stance. There is not any query of a compromise.
A bit within the Muslim League needs to return to the LDF fold. Will they be welcomed?
Any particular person from any social gathering can come to the CPM.
You imply the LDF?
They can come to the social gathering itself.
Does that imply Muslim League is welcome to LDF as a constituent?
IUML is in reality the spine of the UDF. Without IUML, there isn’t any UDF. The drawback is definite stances taken by the League. Let them right it, then we’ll reply. As I mentioned earlier, opportune choices are taken at opportune conditions. (laughs)
The social gathering has grown throughout the state, however Ernakulam district stays an unconquered terrain for the CPM. You have been as soon as in control of the district…
Ernakulam is now not a hurdle. There are many constituencies the place we are able to win. It is the one place the place Congress wields appreciable affect. But the scenario is rising and LDF will emerge stronger.
You are the 4th particular person from Kannur to turn out to be the CPM state secretary in a row…What is so particular about Kannur?
Be it Pinarayi or Kodiyeri or Chadayan (Govindan), all of us have labored throughout the state. So it’s not proper to say that an individual is made social gathering secretary simply because he’s born in Kannur. There is not any have to analyse it based mostly on homeland.
Some say the social gathering in Kannur is the actual social gathering. Do you agree?
There is not any foundation for such an assumption.
Kodiyeri Balakrishnan and you might be sort of friends on the CPM, although he got here to the social gathering district and state leaderships a lot earlier than you.
Each chief is entrusted with completely different tasks, based mostly on various conditions. The social gathering takes choices, usually. It’s a move, of which all of us are half. Not everybody could be secretary or politburo member. The social gathering capabilities underneath a collective management.
Many have turn out to be silent as a results of factionalism. Are there any plans to make them extra lively within the social gathering?
Everyone, together with those that have been silent for lengthy, might be introduced again to the social gathering equipment.
Recently social gathering Central Committee member Okay Okay Shailaja was chosen for the Magsaysay award. Why did the social gathering flip it down?
Ramon Magsaysay was the most important anti-Communist on the planet. He was the one who assassinated a complete politburo. Only a Communist who’s unaware of the actual politics at play right here will settle for such an award in his identify.
But receiving such an award may be seen as a recognition of efforts by the Communist social gathering in Kerala…
How can we settle for that? There are ideological causes behind such a choice.
Everyone accepts that the Left has performed an important position in shaping up Kerala into what it’s now. But on the similar time, additionally it is answerable for making a social psyche the place folks being profitable are appeared down upon…
Yes, there’s an impression that the financially prosperous are our greatest enemy. We want to vary that angle. It was the wealthy farmers who led the farmers’ agitations in Punjab. In Kerala, there are only some on whom the Left can’t rely. But there are none who can’t rely upon the Left.
The LDF scripted historical past by coming to energy for the second straight time. But some really feel that this received’t do good for the social gathering organisation…
As far as we’re involved, being a part of parliamentary politics and even working the federal government are a part of increasing the social gathering and its base. Just as a result of we’re a part of the federal government doesn’t imply we’ll let ourselves be immersed in luxuries. That’s not our fashion of functioning.
Is one other thudarbharanam on the agenda?
The Opposition is already so disillusioned pondering that it has no future in Kerala. I don’t need to add something to that. (chuckles…)
