Feud in IUML signals decline of UDF: Vijayaraghavan
The Hindu
‘Dispute essentially about sharing spoils of corruption’
Communist Party of India (Marxist) acting State secretary A. Vijayaraghavan has said that the internecine feud in the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) foretold the inevitable decline of the United Democratic Front (UDF). A similar crisis is in the making in the Congress. The leadership vacuum in the IUML has spawned conflicting centres of power in the party. The situation is no different in the Congress. Mr. Vijayaraghavan said here on Monday that the dispute in the IUML was essentially about sharing the spoils of corruption. The current spell of infighting was centred on the channelling of illicit money from the substandard construction of the Palarivattom flyover to the IUML’s newspaper, Chandrika.More Related News
