CPM following RSS-style divisive politics for votes, CM supporting it: VD Satheesan

Opposition leader VD Satheesan has leveled serious accusations against the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM), claiming that the party is engaging in divisive politics akin to that of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to secure electoral victories. Satheesan's remarks came during a press conference where he criticized the CPM for allegedly using tactics that foster communal discord, a strategy he believes is being employed to consolidate votes. Satheesan further alleged that the Chief Minister is complicit in this strategy, offering support to these divisive tactics for political gain. He expressed concern that such moves could disrupt the social fabric by pitting communities against each other. The opposition leader urged citizens to be vigilant and reject any attempts to polarize society for short-term electoral benefits. In response to these allegations, the CPM has yet to issue an official statement. However, political analysts suggest that these accusations could intensify the ongoing debate over the ethical boundaries of political campaigning. As the state prepares for upcoming elections, the discourse around divisive politics is expected to play a crucial role in shaping public opinion and influencing voter behavior.
