    The CPM Polit Bureau met in New Delhi on Saturday to find an end to the "disunity" in its Kerala unit and the open turf war between its top leaders.

    The two-day meeting is being attended by CPM General Secretary Prakash Karat, S Ramachandran Pillai, Biman Bose, V S Achuthanandan and Pinarayi Vijayan among others.

    West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee is not attending the meeting.

    The extraordinary two-day meeting comes in the backdrop of intense factional fight in its Kerala unit where Chief Minister Achuthanandan and party state Secretary Vijayan are on a war path.

    "We are meeting for two days. I cannot predict the outcome of the meeting," Polit Bureau member M K Pandhe told reporters ahead of the meeting. He was asked whether the party was contemplating action against any leaders in Kerala.

    He also said all issues regarding Kerala, including SNC Lavalin graft case in which Vijayan is facing prosecution, will be discussed in the meeting.

    After the Central Committee meeting in June, Karat had said the high decision-making body had decided that the wranglings must be settled soon.

    Both the Kerala factions have submitted complaints accusing each other before the Polit Bureau which are likely to be discussed in the meeting.

    This is the second time in past five years that the Politburo is meeting to exclusively discuss Kerala issues. The first such meeting was held on February 13, 2005 in Kolkata.

    The Kolkata meeting had come prior to Malappuram state conference of the party when factionalism was at the peak. The Politburo had then asked the factions led by Achuthanandan and Vijayan to bury the hatchet and work unitedly.

    Whats there to talk this much? Why hurting a straight forward truthful chief minister ?By: anu | 06-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Now almost everyone in Kerala could guess the culprit in SNC lavlin just from the fear to go to court and also it seems obvious that central committee too seems to have a part in SNC lavlin, otherwise why the hype behind it.

    Being sensible is the need of the hour.By: CK Raju, Thrissur | 05-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward The website of communist party of india (marxist) lists out its agenda and goals. What is problematic in such declarations happens to be terminologies like "strategies and tactics" which the organisation is supposed to play with "people". When does one need "strategies and tactics" ? Are they needed when the organisation's philosophy cannot be explained to people in simple terms ? Vijayan is yet to speak why he wanted a cancer treatment hospital at the cost of public exchequer through *strategics and tactics" using non-existent policy framework, when, as part of a party in power, he could easily have made the government allocate funds for such a hospital. Cancers caused by carcinogenic means can well be stopped if carcinogens are banned. For instance, use of Endosulfan in Malabar region is widespread. Why couldn't he have contributed to ban Endosulfan ? Why couldn't he have contributed in convincing people to cultivate diverse food crops that takes care of nutrition and health requirements ? Why does Vijayan want to indulge in a system which first makes people vulnerable to market dynamics by forcing them to go for mono-cropping lifestyle, forces people to be part of an exchange system, makes people vulnerable to diseases and then provides people with a hospital for cure ? This party, is no longer a party for the poor - because in all its interventions, it is making market-centric institutions inevitable for common citizens - creating a de-facto setup, from where equality can never be achieved. Instead of organising people, empowering them with knowledge, assisting them to lead dignified lives without intervention of intermediaries, the party under such vision-blind leaders is creating more and more situation which will neither usher in equality, but guarantee miserable life to future generations. Since this is a situation which goes against the basic tenets of Marxism and the Indianised manifesto of CPI-M, the Polit Bureau should ideally accord more priority to (a) making its goals more transparent and straightforward, (b) force its own followers to forego illusions on market-centric systems, (c) convince the citizens on the reasons behind its ideals and (d) declare means of attaining all such goals, after conducting extensive debates.
    Special Polit beauroBy: A R NUJUM | 05-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Infighting between the leaders of cpm(not for idealogy simply for egoism) destroy a lot to the party. somany leaders dedicated their life to party and built it. now the leaders enjoy the benefits from the party and destroy the image and idealogy of the party. gradually cpm becomes like other political parteis. leaders attitude and body language is terrible. party's branch committee to central commitee filled with Dolls who is partisan. so correct it because communism is good to the common people leaders with peoples support should elect as leaders.
    CPI (M) need to shift its focusBy: Hary Nambiar | 04-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Why do they all have to go to New Delhi? Why can not they meet in Thiruvanandapuram or Kolkotta, where the majority of Polit Bureau members live? Why do they need to meet so frequently? I agree with Sreekumar that people have come a long way and understand things which affect them. CPM leaders have always supported lawlessness and have never been anything but obstacles in the way of economic progress. They need to look in the direction of economic progress, which the CPM infested states lack very much.
