CM Pinarayi Vijayan responsible for implementing party policy, says Anandan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CPM state secretariat member Anathalavattom Anandan has said that the chief minister is fully responsible for implementing CPM policy. The party has the power to rein in anyone who goes against the party policy, he said while expressing dissatisfaction over the manner in which a section of police officers were behaving in the state.

Anathalavattom Anandan made these remarks while participating in a programme of a regional channel. Some of the police officers are taking decisions which are not in consonance with the policies of the LDF Government he said and added that the party would strongly oppose the wrong steps of the police and initiate corrective measures.

Anathalavattom Anandan said it was not the policy of V.S. Achuthanandan, Sitaram Yechury, Kodiyeri Balakrishnan or S. Ramachandran Pillai but also that of Pinarayi Vijayan. The chief minister is mandated to implement the party policies and he is obliged to do that.  It may be recalled that CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan had also stated that certain police officers were acting against the LDF government's police policy and in violation of the Police Act. Kodiyeri had even demanded strict action against the erring officers.
