G. Sudhakaran Responds to CPI(M) Criticism Over Tribute to Brother's Memorial

G. Sudhakaran, a former CPI(M) leader who won the Ambalappuzha Assembly seat as a UDF-backed Independent, criticized Kerala CPI(M) leaders for opposing his tribute to his late brother Bhuvaneswaran, an SFI activist killed in 1977 and regarded as a martyr by the party. Sudhakaran stated the memorial was built by his family and accused the CPI(M) of politicizing the issue, which he said contributed to their vote decline. He also noted his departure from CPI(M) followed alleged disrespect and attacks by local leaders.
