CPI(M) Replaces Palakkad District Secretary Following Election Review
The CPI(M) Palakkad district secretary E.N. Suresh Babu resigned, officially citing personal reasons, amid reports of his removal following the party's electoral setbacks in the district. Former MLA V. Chenthamarakshan was appointed as his successor during an extended district committee meeting, which reviewed the party's performance and organisational challenges. The meeting criticised Babu's leadership style and handling of factionalism, linking these issues to recent election losses in Palakkad. The party affirmed its organisational strength despite these changes.
