Kerala MLA G. Sudhakaran rules out joining Congress, blames CPI(M) ideological drift
G. Sudhakaran, a former minister and independent MLA from Kerala, rejected rumours that he might switch to the Congress party, citing personal independence. He blamed the Communist Party of India (Marxist) for an “ideological drift” that contributed to its recent electoral defeat. Sudhakaran said remaining unaffiliated allows him to raise issues freely.
