Opposition leader and CPM veteran V S Achuthanandhan on Saturday visited late Revolutionary Marxist Party leader TP Chandrasekharan's house at Onchiyam. The veteran leader was greeted with slogans praising him at Onchiyam. He met Chandrasekharan's widow Rama and held talks. The visit, in all probability, will accentuate divisions in the CPI(M). Achuthanandan visited TP's house soon after Pinarayi Vijayan and Poliburo member S Ramachandra Pillai met him at the Kozhikode guest guest.
Chandrasekharan, 51, was killed in Onchiyam near here Friday night while returning home on a two-wheeler. Chandrasekharan, once a prominent CPI(M) leader in the party stronghold Onjiyam in Kozhikode district, was expelled a few years ago after he fell out with the leadership. He later joined the RMP floated by CPI(M) rebels and wrested control of Onjiyam village panchayat, ending decades-old rule of the CPI(M).
