While many senior leaders such as the party <br \/>general secretary and state ministers responded to Ali\u2019s decision <br \/>harshly, Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan yesterday asked Ali to change <br \/>his decision. However, Ali replied that he was not willing to make any <br \/>change and that he would continue with his decision to resign the MLA <br \/>post.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The decision of Manjalamkuzhi Ali was unfavourable and Ali should be <br \/>ready to change it, said Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan yesterday in <br \/>Kollam. Ali had contributed a lot to the organisation, though he was not<br \/> a member of the party. His works have been helpful in giving a big blow<br \/> to the Congress and the Muslim League in Malappuram. Ali\u2019s help has <br \/>been good to the party. But his present stand is weakening to the left <br \/>parties and helping the UDF. This makes undone all the good deeds that <br \/>he had done, he added. He was speaking at a programme organized by the <br \/>Kollam Press Club.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>VS said that he did not consider much Ali\u2019s view that he had to face <br \/>problems because of his close relations with the former. He added that <br \/>he did not criticize Ali for such thoughts. Mr Achuthanandan rejected <br \/>the analysis that leaders from minority communities were leaving the <br \/>party. All cannot be made MLA or MP. Decisions are made by the party <br \/>according to the specific circumstances in each time, he reminded.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Manjalamkuzhi Ali stated that there was no change in his decision to <br \/>resign his MLA post. He was responding to the query of media persons <br \/>regarding the statement of VS. Meanwhile, Ali will hold a meeting <br \/>explaining his politics on October 17 (Sunday) at 4 pm. Ali is expected <br \/>to speak about his political career as well as the circumstances that <br \/>led to the resignation. MP Veerendrakumar will deliver the chief <br \/>address.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Ali, who had represented the Mankada constituency in Malappuram in <br \/>the Assembly as an independent supported by the CPI (M), decided to cut <br \/>all ties with the party reportedly out of \u2018insults from the party <br \/>leaders\u2019. He announced his decision to resign his MLA post as well as <br \/>several other posts on October 11 in a press conference held at his <br \/>house in Malappuram. He also made it clear that he was not joining any <br \/>party, but rather would continue his social work as an independent.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><b>A sign of minorities leaving the CPI (M)?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The decision of Ali to leave the CPI (M) is seen as the latest among <br \/>the bidding farewell of several leaders in the party belonging to the <br \/>minority communities. The trend was begun by AP Abdullakkutty, former MP<br \/> of Kannur, who rose to heights in the party through the SFI and the <br \/>DYFI. He left the party following his controversial praise of the <br \/>Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. Next was the turn of Dr KS Manoj <br \/>who had defeated senior Congress leader VM Sudheeran in Alappuzha. The <br \/>decision of some leaders to leave the party gradually led to the <br \/>departure of other political parties from the LDF. MP Veerendrakumar <br \/>left his own party Janata Dal (S) and the LDF and is now in the UDF with<br \/> a new party. The Indian National League which has been with the LDF <br \/>since its formation has now left it for good as the LDF was not ready to<br \/> take the party into the alliance even after 14 years of cooperation. <br \/>INL is now with the UDF, though a group chose to continue with the LDF <br \/>namely INL (Secular). The People\u2019s Democratic Party had helped the LDF <br \/>in the last Parliamentary elections. But the party gradually went away <br \/>from the front after the elections and the gap increased very badly by <br \/>the arrest of the party chairman Abdunnasir Maudany by the Karnataka <br \/>police with the help of the Kerala police. Now the PDP is contesting the<br \/> local body elections alone, without making alliance with any party. The<br \/> Jamat e Islami had supported the LDF in the last Assembly and <br \/>Parliament elections. But the organisation has gone too far away from <br \/>the LDF and it is contesting the local body elections under the banner <br \/>of the Janakeeya Vikasana Munnani.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The departure of the Kerala Congress (Joseph group) was a big blow to<br \/> the LDF as it meant a large erosion of the Christian votes. It was also<br \/> helpful for the UDF as the party merged itself in the Kerala Congress <br \/>(Mani group), thus making the party the second biggest party of the <br \/>alliance in the Assembly. There were also reports of pastoral letters <br \/>being read out in the churches warning the believers not to vote for the<br \/> communists and atheists. If all this meant the loss of Christian votes,<br \/> the loss of Muslim votes was revealed by the departure of the INL and <br \/>estrangement of the PDP and the Jamat e Islami from the LDF. The recent <br \/>policies followed by the CPI (M) appeasing the Hindutva forces can also <br \/>be read along with this. The Chief Minister and Home minister had made <br \/>remarks which were seemingly anti-Muslim during the controversy <br \/>following the hand-chopping incident.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The party which had once been the hope of the labourers and working <br \/>class as well as the downtrodden Dalit sections is now apparently <br \/>estranged from all them. The leftist parties are losing support of these<br \/> traditional vote-banks. At the same time, the UDF which is said as <br \/>rightist is now gaining the support of some of these sections. As Ali <br \/>said, the left has become more right and the right has become more left <br \/>in Kerala.          <\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once the Marhoom C H Muhammad Koya was asked &#8220;Once you had an alliance with the CPM, why not now?&#8221; He answered memorably, &#8220;Our Prophet said &#8211; A Muslim is bitten from a burrow only once&#8221;.
